Title: Mysql is broke please help!!!
Post by: troyl1969 on March 09, 2005, 05:51:20 PM

The error i get when i type mysql is follows:

Error 1045: access denied for user: 'root@localhost' using password: YES)

When i type the following i get the same erro
 
mysql -u root -p

since it is a new install I don't have anything in the db so I have no problem with reinstalling if that is possible. what do you think?

You have to reset / sync your mysql password.

Search on the forums and FAQ's on how to do this. It will be a nice exercise ;-)

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld stop
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-mysql-password
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

all i had to do was this

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

[root@e-smith /root] # /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start



now maybe I can get some work done today. thanks

Actually, no. The first action should be to report a bug (assuming he's using a version new enough for anyone to care about).
