Hello,
Since I had problems with my previous MySQL installation anf phpMyAdmin
I have installed the new version of MySQL(Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.22)
from Internet Express version 6.6 for Tru64 CD.I have installed only
MySQL from the CD on my Tru64 OS V5.1A machine.The installation went
without
any problems as given in the following output:
"The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
done
*****************************************************
Internet Express IAEMYSQL660
installation completed successfully.
*****************************************************
Configuring "MySQL v5.0.22" (IAEMYSQL660)
Starting MySQL
. SUCCESS!
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/internet/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/internet/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h machine.psi.ch password
'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions."
So I tried the following commands to set the password without any
success:
TEST1
-----
/usr/internet/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'test01'
/usr/internet/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost'

What is wrong with my installation? How can I set a password for
root?
I have the following directories in /usr/local/mysql:
$ls -l
total 104

Any help is appreciated?
Thanks in advance.
