What is Password for MySQL?

[dr_smit]

[root@smitdesk dr_smit]# mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[root@smitdesk dr_smit]# mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password:


What password is required here???

Is this a new (mysql) install ? If it is, then you need to assign a password to the root user. Make sure that mysql daemon is running, if not run the daemon and then execute this:

mysqladmin -u root password <new-password>

Replace <new-password> with your password.

yes it was a new installation and your suggestion worked..

I wish to wether PHP & Mysql are installed, configured to set up a software called OpenEMR.. How should I proceed?
