    Have followed instructions at
    http://www.howtoforge.org/installing-otrs-on-fedora8
    to a tee.
    Browser returns:
    The requested URL /otrs/installer.pl was not found on this server.
    During install chkconfig was not a recognized command.
    and 2nd mysqladmin command returned.
    mysqladmin: connect to server at 'gss-fp1.greatscotsolutions.ca' failed
    error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
    Apache server up and running fine.

    Did you log in directly as root, or did you log in as a normal user and then su to root? In the latter case, /sbin is not in your PATH, and I guess chkconfig is located in /sbin (-> /sbin/chkconfig).

    Chkconfig now working.

    You are right. Now that I login as root chkconfig is a recognized command. Proceed to start httpd and mysqld both alright. But the mysqladmin command for -u and -h will not let me connect to mysql returning a message that says:
    Error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user at 'root@localhost' (using password: No)

    Bigger Issues it seems

    I guess I must have bigger issues because after I stop and then restart mysql into safe mode I don't see mysql starting up. This is a fresh install ol Fedora Project.

    Clarification

    This is what I see at the prompt:

    [root@gss-fp1 ~]# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
    nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdout
    Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

    Underneath the last line is a blinking black box. I don't know if I am in mysql at this point or not.

    Can you open a second shell and try to connect to MYSQL?

    Second Shell

    I have been using Xkonsole & tty# to problem solve this issue and to be honest with you I am inexperienced with mysql programming so I am not equipped to verify if I am truly logged in or not. I do get to a mysql prompt through secondary shell and even appear to be logged into shell with no password but update command won't work.

    What do you mean with "but update command won't work"? Do you see any errors?
