hi... can you tell us if you actually have mysqld running? i know it states that the service started, but is it actually running? if it is running, do you have any firewall/seliunx/etc running? what you're seeing has usually indicated that there was some issue regarding the mysql sockets between the client/server... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Duncan Lithgow Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2005 2:23 PM To: Fedora List Subject: OT: getting started with mysql I've got it installed and running but I can't seem to get it to do anything. I can't get access mysql as root to make some users and such. I just want to make a user with 'create insert edit' etc rights for testing on my local machine. Here's what I've got so far... error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' [root@3e6b36fa ~]# service mysqld start Starting MySQL: [ OK ] [root@3e6b36fa ~]# mysql ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) So, what am I doing wrong?
