Installing a LAMP server, looking for mysql password
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 4:02 am
I am in the midst of installing a LAMP server to host my own files, using this guide: http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/fedora-14
Right after this command: mysql_secure_installation
a password has to be filled in. I've tried to leave it blank, as I did not set a password before for mysql (as far a I remember that is) and that didn't work. After that I tried the password of my standard user and my root account. Both didn't work either. The message I get is:
and ofcourse it states YES if type a password.
edit: some more information. As it seems mysql is needed for Greyhole. I'm very happy I got a warning when uninstalling MySQL through the add/remove software tool inside the desktop environment.
