    Hi,

    i have a problem following the "The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 11.1 [ISPConfig 3]-Howto." After installing MySQL i started the mysql-installation-script and set a new root password. When asked to remove anonymous users, I agreed, but only to be told that root@localhost does not have the rights to do this.

    I ended the script and tried again, but this time I am not even allowed to login when prompted for the root-password. Can someone tell me where I can do the settings the script changes by myself?

    Thanks,

    Helge

    Can you log into MySQL like this?
    Code:
    mysql -u root -p

    No. I just installed it again and everything worked, thank you.
