Hiya,

I am using a Debian 5 VPS at the moment and having a bit of a problem with the MySQL server of a fresh installation. The exact problem is below:

Code:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I know what the problem appears to be, I'm just unable to fix it. I have followed the steps from the MySQL documentation page concerning this error, also a howtoforge.com page as well as a few other blog posts I found on Google but still, none of those will work.
Does anybody know how I can get this fixed permanently?

If any log files could come in handy to help, I'd be more than happy to post that along with bash_history to show that it's a fresh install, etc., just say which ones.

Thanks
