Unforch Steve, same error:
[root@coyote etc]# mysql -u root mysql -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password:
YES)
[root@coyote etc]# mysql -u root mysql -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password:
YES)
in each case I entered my root pw at the prompt.
That will be the mysql root user, not the system root user. IF that was
setup installing mythtv, then you need to check the scripts used in the
package that installed mysql.
