MySQL error during setup

I keep getting this error:

Code:

Host 'localhost.localdomain' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

after I enter the MySQL information.

I have tried it on several machines and I keep getting this error on all of them.

I'm using the Debian Sarge Perfect Setup.

 

This has changed in Debian Sarge since I've written the tutorial.
Open /etc/mysql/my.cnf and comment out the line

Code:

bind-address            = 127.0.0.1

Then restart MySQL.

 

I tried that but I still keep getting this error:

Code:

ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[email protected]'

Would using a different Perfect Setup (i.e. another operating system) work?? If so which would you reccomend?

 

Can you open the database mysql with phpMyAdmin and have a look at the user table? Is there an entry for root and localhost.localdomain?

 

I haven't gotten phpMyAdmin installed, because this error occurs during ISPConfig setup.

 

You can run

Code:

apt-get install phpmyadmin

or get phpMyAdmin from www.phpmyadmin.net and install it manually under /var/www.

You can then reach it under http://<your IP address>/phpmyadmin/

 

I looked around in the forums here and tried using a blank MySQL password. It worked. Thanks for your help.
