For some reason, I never have luck with installing mySQL. Last time I successfully installed it, it took me a while. Anyway, I was doing updates on a Slackware 8.1 server, and uninstalled mysql to reinstall a new version from source. I do the install just like in the help file from the library (http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Webservers/Setting_Up_Apache.html). When I run mysqladmin to change the root password, this no problems. But when I try to login with root, I get a 1045 error, saying that root@localhost doesn't have permission or something along those lines. I'm not sure why, does anyone? When I login with the mysql user, it can't even access the mysql database, which would seem like a problem no?
