NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!


In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MySQL, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
root user without the proper authorisation.

You already have a root password set, so you can safely answer 'n'.

Change the root password? [Y/n] n
... skipping.

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
... Success!

By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Dropping test database...
ERROR 1008 (HY000) at line 1: Can't drop database 'test'; database doesn't exist
... Failed! Not critical, keep moving...
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
... Success!

Cleaning up...



All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MySQL!

Did you used special chars in the Password ?

I have the exact same problem. followed the guide.
I'm however running ubuntu 9.10 with webmin on it. ( if that makes any difference) Also I am one hundert procent sure that the database is up and running correctly, verified by phpmyadmin. Also I of course didn't use any special chars (UTF-8) in anything where it wasn't allowed to be in.

Please help me out here!

Best Regards,

I assume you have mysql on localhost and not on external server?(maybe port issue if you do have it external)

If not, restart mysql and try again, make sure you give correct answers.

[gamerlv]

Its on localhost indeed.
Ill see what I can do about the restarting concern!

Thanks for you reply!

[gamerlv]

Sorry for double posting but i tried some more ways to get this to work.
I have removed the root password temporally and got this error as a result:

Code:

Starting Installation...
ERROR: External command '/usr/bin/mysql --host="localhost" --user="root" --pass=3ȺOx¨¦" < /tmp/db.sql 1>/tmp/db.sql.stdout 2>/tmp/db.sql.stderr' returned '1' status !

I see that it is filling in a password for root, but there is none and i have entered none in the installer.

Hope this helps.

I'd suggest to change the password - see http://www.isp-control.net/documentation...ge_db_pass

Thank you, that was just what i needed. I now successfully installed ispCP.
But i now see that my ftp isn't working correct. I would welcome any advice you may have. ( i have enabled the mysql modules and changed all that).

I forgot to say I already did all of that. I get a username correct massage but then says password incorrect.
I just checked the logs again and it said username not found.
I have also tried the method of php5 incorrectly encrypting the password but that didn't help as well. And i can still login with my unix user account.
