I installed Apache22, php5, php5-extensions, phpmyadmin and mysql mainly for the purpose of snort / snortreport.

Installing MySQL:
1. Go to the mysql50-server port directory by typing the command:
cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server
2. Build the port by typing: (This takes AGES - good time for some food.)
make BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes BUILD_STATIC=yes
3. Install by typing:
make install clean
4. Open /etc/rc.conf with your favourite text editor and add the line shown below. This will ensure mysql is enabled and starts on boot.
mysql_enable="YES"
5. Start mysql manually to avoid having to reboot now by typing:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start
6. Set a password for the MySQL root user by executing the command, subtituting your own password in place of new-password:
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -uroot password 'new-password'
And you're done! MySQL is installed.

Everything works fine, UNTIL

/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -uroot password 'new-password

I'll get error
Code:
r00tr00t# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -uroot password newpassword
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
when i change it up.
Code:
r00tr00t# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password
Enter password:
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
other times i get using password: NO
I don't know what my problem is, do you?
