RE: Security settings won't take during installation

I did that already - uninstall and deleting the residual Program files - but
it still happens. But perhaps the port issue is one - how do you ensure the
port is open (I have Zone Alarm and it shows ticks for MySQL access but
maybe not that port?)

Thanks

I ran into the same problem. I uninstalled MySQL and reinstalled it with the
same results. Then I uninstalled it and deleted the MySQL directory under
Program Files and it installed correctly. Also make sure port 3306 is open
before you do the install.

Good luck -

Greg

Subject: Security settings won't take during installation

I am sure this is a very basic thing

I ran the setup programme for MySQL 5 (I have done this previously on
another computer with no problems). When I tried to go through the
configuration wizard all went well and the server service started up but at
the end I got the following:

"The security settings could not be applied to the database because the
connection has failed with the following error
1045 access denied for user root@localhost etc "

So I cannot connect of course or do anything to the permissions and so on.

I have Win XP SP2 with all the security updates and Apache 1.3 running.

I cannot understand what is happening - I am using a different firewall on
this computer ZoneAlarm - whereas previously I had Kerio - but it lists
MySql as granted permissions to access and to act as a server. I even turned
off ZoneAlarm before installing but still get this result.  Reconfiguing
just produces the same.

This must be a common problem - and I realise it may have been answered
before but do not know where to look. Please may I request a small amount of
time from someone to point me at the answer?

Thanks 

Adrian
