Hi,

I am attempting to install mysql, but the "make test" command fails with an "access denied for user" error at the first attempt to connect to the database. This is troubling, because I started up the server with a --skip-grant-tables option, and my ODBC driver can connect to it fine.

My first attempt was to load this was from the CPAN module, which failed make test, even when I used --skip-grant-tables (sp). When repeated manually, I discovered that CPAN seemed to have installed DBI and ShowTable OK, but the problem was with msql-mysql-modules.

Help!
