I think you should try to set a password for mysql. Then proceed to drop the ser database. 1. You should set the sysadmin password. I did it like this: #mysqladmin -u root password newpasswordPersonally, I don't like the way you have to specify the password on the command line. 2. Drop the ser database # ser_mysql.sh drop I hope it works for you. -Emmanuel ----- Original Message ----- From: dknyvice To: serhelp(a)lists.iptel.org ; serusers(a)lists.iptel.org Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 3:56 PM Subject: [Serusers] ser_mysql.sh create database problem Hi sir, The problem here is i want to drop the database, and i use mysql default password that is blank. but it telling me access denied... So the question here is how i gonna delete the "ser" database in order for me to recreate it again. I try use reinit and reinstall command but it keep asking me password and tell me access denied. Can i delete the database using mysql command prompt? My mysql root password is default that is blank.
