    The Perfect Setup Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server
    Problem with ISPConfig installation. Everything has worked fine except the mysql root password section of ISPConfig.

    Please enter your MySQL server: localhost
    Please enter your MySQL user: root
    Please enter your MySQL password: xxxxx ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@locahost' (using password: YES) The provided MySQL password is wrong!

    I have reset the MySQL password using http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mysql-set-change-reset-root-password/ and still I can't get past this. I see this has happened to a few others but I can't seem to get past it. Any help you could provide is very much appreciated.

    Can you connect to MySQL when you run
    Code:
    mysql -u root -p
    ?

    Okay, I have found a solution. I dont know if this is the correct one or not, but it did allow me to install ISPConfig.

    I restarted the entire installation from the beginning.
    The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server (Dapper Drake)
    When I got to:
    Page 4 10 MySQL
    mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
    mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

    I skipped the second entry "mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword"

    Then I proceeded with everything else. Now it is up and running. I wonder why the second line is even needed ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Its needed. But you can change this easy after you installed ISPConfig.

    Please install the phpmyadmin addon, login to phpmyadmin and make sure that there is a password set for all root user accounts in mysql.

    This error occurs when you enter the wrong mysql password, user or host in the ISPConfig installer.
