I just installed Fedora Core 6 and even though I selected mysql to be installed I cannot get it to run properly. The output of: <rpm -qa|fgrep mysql> is ... libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.8.1a-1.2.2 mysql-server-5.0.27-1.fc6 mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-2.2 mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6 The output of </etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status> is... mysqld (pid 23491) is running... When I go to webmin as root I don't see the users table. Also when I issue: <mysql -u root> and try to set the password (<mysql -u root -p> acts the same way. I do enter with <mysql -u root> mysql> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | test | +--------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) also: mysql> use user ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'user' mysql> use users ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'users' HELP!!!!! Something must be missing. Thanks, Evan
