Ok, I've done that and it prompted me for a password. But the same error occurred again. I don't think I have a root user registered in this installation of MySQL. How can I check that out? I'm thinking of removing everything MySQL related and restarting from scratch. How can I make sure to remove everything and set it up again? Will only: [code]# apt-get remove sql-server[/code] do the trick? I've tried this already and after: [code]# apt-get install sql-server[/code] the same error keeps returning. I really don't want to re-install Ubuntu, but if it's what it takes to run, so be it! Thanks again! Gustavo

Hello all, I'm a newbie here so, please, have a little patience with me! :D I'm setting up a LAMP server at work. The L is Ubuntu 6.06, the A is Apache2, M is MySQL and P is PHP5. All is working but MySQL. Each time I try to set up MySQL I get this: [code]root@rx160:~!# mysql -u root ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) root@rx160:~#[/code] I'm running out of ideas as how to get my application running. The goal is to run as test NetOffice to manage my company's projects. Thanks in advance! Gustavo
