Title: Install problem phpnuke/ Mysql
Post by: Raimond on May 09, 2003, 02:55:23 AM

Before I start I must say that I am VERY impressed with the quality of assistance that is provided by this forum.  It has helped me greatly in setting up SME server and addressing issues I have also come accross.  I hope that in time I will also be able to contribute.

I am looking for help on how to install phnuke onto my sme server.  Some back ground.

I am running 5.6 U4.  I have loaded several rpm from the contrib site and have succesfully installed most of them todate.  

I ran into problems when I tried to follow a how to  on installing Ezcontents on SME.  This did not work, adn I believ that a command I gave in MYSQL as follows in the brackets (   "grant all on ezcontents.* to root@localhost identified by ' ' ;  )  set up a blank password in mysql.

I can get into mysql using the only as a password on the command line, but I am unable to use the web phpmyadmin web access.

The issue
I tried to load phpnuke and received the following error message


[root@pc7-server phpnuke]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:dmc-mitel-myphpnuke    ########################################### [100%]

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'

What can I do?

Also, you didn't setup a blank password ;)

' ' is the same as space, a blank password would be ''.


Thanks,
Nathan

This howto does not work for 5.6. Where is the password for root?

Hi Beno,

I am using  5.6  U4.  I followed the How To and it worked for me.  I am a new to this, so I can not help much more.
