[rt-users] mysql password problems

[Thornton, Patrick J]

This may be a dumb question, but are you sure the mysql daemon is
running?

(Something like "# ps -ef | grep mysqld" should tell you)

Subject: [rt-users] mysql password problems

I apologize if this question is off topic, yet I am a MySQL newbie and
haven't found any resolution on my own.  I've been following this
install guide

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?RHEL4InstallGuide

and everything seems to work except this command:

# mysqladmin -u root password newpass
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

I've also tried this alternate syntax:

# mysqladmin -uroot -p create
Enter password:<some password>
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

What can I do?
