Hi,
I keep getting this thing in the output of checksetup.pl:
DBI connect('test','',) failed: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
(using password: N)
Maybe I need to edit my.conf ? reinstall ? Is there a simple workaround ?
After working with for some 8 years, I now encounter the same old
beginners problems all over again
My bugzilla version: 2.18.1
Perl: 5.8.5
Mysql: 4.1.12
S: Red Hat 2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp

You need to issue a GRANT statement to mysql (the bugzilla docs have
details) to assign appropriate permissions to the database user bugzilla
is supposed to use. Then, change localconfig to use that db_user value
and its corresponding mysql password (not 'root' as it seems to have now).

Thanks, but I have no localconfig file.
Can I create it ?

Running checksetup.pl for the first time creates the localconfig file.
If it doesn't create the localconfig file, you may have other
problems. Are you using a normal tarball of Bugzilla downloaded from
the website? Are you on a machine that has SELinux enabled? (Such as
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or Fedora Core 3? If so, try doing
"setenforce 0" before checksetup.pl and "setenforce 1" after running
it.)

from
RH cd's. Now success.

Thanks anyway,

I have reinstalled the whole thing, beginning with MySQL.
And now success.
I had before installed Mysql from download instead of following the official
RedHat menu path.
