Hi, I've bin following: The Perfect Setup: Fedora Core 4 guide. However, im stuck on page 4; its related to MySQL. When i try to run the following command: mysqladmin -h server1.spenguin.com -u root password myMySQLpassword I get the following error: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'server1.spenguin.com' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' What can i do to fix this? Thanks Alot!
Same issue... Greetings, I am having a similar issue to the above post, however I am using FC5,and have used root, and localhost as my paramaters. I have checked passwords are exact, I have checked mysqld is up and running, Firewalls and SELinux are both disabled, but i receive the same errors. I used the FC5 how to on a previous installation with zero problems, but this time around, I have missed something, or Im just going crazy. I am able to issue the first command with no probs: mysqladmin -u root password 'newpswd' then: mysqladmin -h my.server.com -u root password 'newpswd' generates an error. Also tried mysqladmin -h localhost -u root password 'newpswd' Any assistance would be appreciated.
