MySQL questions
Hey, I have mysql4 installed from the binary file, and I am having some problems.
1. When I try to create a password for root I get: # ./bin/mysql -u root -p I get the following message: Error 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) What is error 1045? 2. How do I create a database? 3. How do I join MySQL and PHP? I am going to use phpBB. thanks. |

[QUOTE] Well, I figured out the first one... It was that I didnt have a password. So my question will now be how do I create a password? Also, how do I create a username and password? |
to change your root mysql password, do the following:
% mysqladmin -u root password <your-desired-password> that will set the root password,,, now, to add a new user: % mysql -u root -p <type your password> mysql> GRANT ALL on <databasename or *>.<tables or *> TO <username>@<hostname (try localhost)> IDENTIFIED BY "<password>"; if you want the user to be able to grant other users access, append WITH GRANT OPTION to the end of the last command. *'s above represent wildcards. |
Thanks! Now I have no more questions about mysql, well, for now.
Thanks again! |
