Trouble setting up db

coasterjunkie · Post by **coasterjunkie** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 12:28 am

I just built a dedicated ZM box. I am running Red Hat 7.1 and ZM 1.21.4 source. When I try to run ./configure to set up the mysql db, or zminit, it always says access denied due to incorrect password. It is trying to use YES as the password even though zm.conf and zmconfig.txt both show the user/pass that I put in.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Jason

i think you need the root password for the db here
it wont always be your root login password, have you tried leaving it blank i think the default passward is that

James is correct, if you just setup your machine and haven't assigned a password to the database root user (It does not use PAM services and maintains it's own user base) just leave the password blank.
zminit only comes with and is used by the rpm packages.

Just to add that the YES just indicates that a password is being used, not what it is.
