Getting the following error when running mysqltest:

'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)


Couldn't determine the cause. I just installed mysql and changed
the password for root user of mysql. I'm able to login via webmin
though but the mysqltest still fails.

What needs to be done?

Hey,

 from the terminal or command line do this

mysql -u root -p

it will then prompt you for the root password( in this case root password of mysql not of system)
