I just installed Apache, MySQL, and PHP4 on my pbook (10.3.2). the install went fine, but when I try to create a database using the line

mysqladmin -u root create mydb

I get the following error


./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'


how do I get this to work properly? I know I am in the proper directory, I'm just not sure where to go next.

thanks
