Re: Multiple instances of mysql on same server - install issues

[Joseph Norris]

Ok John - figured out my issue with sock - server up and running however I can not access it with the following script:

bin/mysql --port=3301 --socket=/tmp/csmaster.sock

my port is 3301 in cnf file as well

I get the following error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I attempted to set root password via:

bin/mysqladmin --port=3301 --socket=/tmp/csmaster.sock password mypassword

but this did not work:

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