getting started with mysql

[bruce]

hi...

can you tell us if you actually have mysqld running? i know it states that
the service started, but is it actually running?

if it is running, do you have any firewall/seliunx/etc running?

what you're seeing has usually indicated that there was some issue regarding
the mysql sockets between the client/server...

Subject: OT: getting started with mysql


I've got it installed and running but I can't seem to get it to do
anything. I can't get access mysql as root to make some users and such.
I just want to make a user with 'create insert edit' etc rights for
testing on my local machine. Here's what I've got so far...

error: 'Access denied for user: 'root at localhost' (Using password: NO)'
[root at 3e6b36fa ~]# service mysqld start
Starting MySQL:                                            [  OK  ]
[root at 3e6b36fa ~]# mysql
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root at localhost' (Using password: NO)

So, what am I doing wrong?

Duncan
