mysql problems
 
Hello. I can't seem to get mysql working. When I try to create a database it gives me the following message:

linux:/usr/bin # mysqladmin -u root create mydb
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'


What do I need to do?

Maybe....
 
Maybe I am wrong.But please try the following:

1.Type mysql -u root -p [password];

2.Type create database [databasename];

3.Type show database; <-To verify the new database has been created.



P.S. My friend,you can simply download MySQLCC from the MySQL website.It is a GUI software to make you work much more faster than typing command.

If you have any further problems,please post here. ;)
