J'ai installé la version 4.0.20 de Mysql à partir de l'installation de Slackware 10.0. Le problème se trouve au niveau de la configuration du mot de passe root mysql. Tout d'abord j'ai lancé mysql_install_db et obtenu:
Installing all prepared tables
040728 12:01:01 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h slack password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &
You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory:
cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Le problème survient quand j'exécute la commande
mysqladmin -u root password 'password'
Le message suivant apparaît:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
Le socket n'a pu être créé ? Mysql_install_db aurait échoué ?
