I am trying to follow PowerDNS with MySQL backend and I am running into an issue I am hoping you can help me with. In Step 2 you have to do the following: Code: mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword The first step I can do but the second give me the following error: Code: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'vm7.intranetshield.com' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' What would be causing this and how can I fix this. I do not have the knowledge of MySQL so I am sort of stuck at this point. Any help you could provide I would be most thankful.
I suggest you run Code: mysql_secure_installation instead of Code: mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword to set your password.
Thnx for the information. It worked nicely. Now I have to figure out SELinux to get things working without setenforce. I do not want to turn off SELinux.
