Hi, Make sure you have set the password for the MySQL's root user. Keep in mind that Koha is not yet suitable for MySQL 5, due to the new reserved words MySQL defined. adebreli@cs.bilgi.edu.tr escribió: Hi, I'm trying to install koha on a host which is hosting a mysql 5 installation. So, i started mysql 4.1 on 127.0.0.2 and typed this ip as mysql host during installation. but installer still tries to use localhost and fails with: Creating the MySQL database for Koha... /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I also added 127.0.0.2 to /etc/hosts with a host name but it didn't helped. How can I use this server? (The solution would be editing /etc/hosts and changing localhost to 127.0.0.2 which is _really_ ugly.) _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha Luis M.
