Topic: mysql root password problem

[SSBN]

I have a web page that requires this (http://search.cpan.org/~samtregar/HTML-Template-2.6/)
Program for php and perl to work properly.

After installing HTML-Template-2.6 the mysql root password seems to be changed.  The file that contains the password. Root/.my.cnf still has the 76 car password in it but it no longer works. When I type in root in the shell it tells me it has a bad password.

Where ells would the password be listed or how can I fix this.

Try this

Code: [Select]

[root@tuxtest /root] # /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld stop
[root@tuxtest  /root # /etc/esmith/events/actions/conf-mysql-password
[root@tuxtest /root] # /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

Look at this how to

Thanks Souley that is what I needed to know. Now I just have to figure what that add-on caused a problem in the first place. Log files here I come.
