Hi
I have not installed mysql on my own, its the default one that is coming with fedora14 at /usr/local/mysql
I am giving you some screenshots, please check if you can find out something.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************
The first issue is while I login using command
mysql -u root -p
it asks for password I enter, root123
then gives the error
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
let me give you the full flow:
I am using fedora 14
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
in root I fire the below commands:
[starting the mysql]
[root@chandan init.d]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
now from my local account I try to login to sql,
[chadan@chandan ~]$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
[i give password as root123
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
But when I login using command
[chadan@chandan ~]$ mysql
