Hey guys
I'm trying to configure the MySQL client on my peg box so I can use Mythtv properly but I cant seem to get it right. Can someone plz post a step by step how to??

Try using PHPMyAdmin. Sure, it's overkill to install Apache
just to config MySQL, but I'm no MySQL Guru..

Hi magnetic
Perhaps you start by telling us what happens when you start what !?
If you have the same problem i had with MySQL on Gentoo/x86 there will be no benefit of apache or PHPmyadmin or whatever.
So you start by writing step-by-step what you did and which answers you got from your system !

Thanks for the responses guys Ok here is my shell output. After the dpkg-recondigure of the mythv database it takes me to the gui to reconfigure and asks me for the admin/user name and the password. It recommends to leave it at "root" and blank for password (default mysql settings?) but then it returns the "Failed to create database"
I havent independently tried to configure the Mysql client as I don't know how.

Hope this makes sense and please help.

Yes, default pass for MySQL are root/nothing.

Try:
mysqladmin password <new pass>
mysqladmin create <databasename> -p
