Stupid Noob Question

[Keshyden]

I have successfully installed Ubuntu Center. I cannot figure out what to type in the MySQL settings. What would my database user and password be? And is my host localhost?

Check this link (https://hive.bountysource.com/wiki) out for support info.

I'd also suggest giving your questions descriptive titles, as it will help get more eyeballs on your question. Some people just skip over entries with generic (HELP!, N00b in Trouble, etc.) subject lines.

I checked out the wiki but in that step it assumes you know what to fill in.

I am probably being oblivious.

While following the installation instructions did you happen to skip the part where you set a mysql password? If you did just set a mysql root password and then in the installer enter root for the username and then the password you set for the password.

I don't remember ever seeing anything asking me for a password. How do I go about setting the root password?

3. Set a password for mysql:

mysqladmin -u root -p password YOURNEWPASSWORDHERE

REPLACE YOURNEWPASSWORDHERE with a password when prompted to enter a password just hit enter

then in the installer use root for the username and the password you just set for the password.

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

i had same....by default the root password is empty. so when you run the password set command(including new password), and it asks you for password just hit enter...this will fix your problem
