Hello, I'm trying to connnect and configure the root password for mysql after a fresh install. I've done the following 1. yum install mysql-server mysql-administrator mysql mysql-gui-common php-mysql 2. service mysqld start At this point from what I understand, the root mysql account should have no password set so I can either A. connect to the database with mysql -u root. with this I'm getting the following error. ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) or I can set the root password with B. mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword' which yields the same error. I've searched tirlessly to resolve this on my own but everything I read says this only happens if you have set a password for root which I haven't done. Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/MYSQL-setup-tp20076569p20076569.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
