I'am tring to install a LAMP server. So far LA is fine but M cause some problem (I am new to MySQL)
I am fallowing a LAMPS howto http://www.interpc.fr/mappage/billaud/apmysphp.htm
I installed mysql as followed:
downloaded server, client, lib and shared lib as rpm packages
than : rpm -ivh My*.rpm
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'my-omn-password'

than it tells me to try #mysql mysql to see if it works...

i've got the message:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)

Can someone give me a clue?
thanks

Try doing:

mysql -u root -p

Then it will ask you for a password.
