Description Michaelian Ennis 2002-11-18 11:23:45 UTC

* Starting mysqld...                                                 [ ok ]
bash-2.05a# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root  password 'apassword'
bash-2.05a# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h myhostname.mydomain.com  
password 'apassword'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'myhostname.mydomain.com' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

Should be this:
bash-2.05a# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p -h myhostname.mydomain.com  
password 'apassword'
Enter password: 
bash-2.05a#

could you be more specific in terms of where the lack of instructions can be found ?

Comment 2 Michaelian Ennis 2002-11-18 16:51:02 UTC

Yes:
 * 
 * You might want to run:
 * "ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-3.23.52-r1/mysql-3.23.52-r1.ebuild config"
 * if this is a new install.
 *

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
This is done with:
/etc/init.d/mysql start  (you have to start the server first!)
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root  password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h sunyata.corvus.net  password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

that message is displayed by mysql itself, not the ebuild
