[PHP] Re: sql password From: Mike Eheler (meheler <email protected>)

yeah

if you just installed, root doesn't have a password.. so you need to not
specify -p (this tells the server to try and authenticate with an empty
password, as opposed to attempting to authenticate with no password..
there is a difference):

mysqladmin -u root password mypassword
