Hi

After running : toaster_setup.pl -s vpopmail
and the compilation is finished i receive the following messages:
DBI connect('database=mysql;host=localhost;port=3306','root',...) failed: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/MATT/Mysql.pm line 248

hosting# mysql -u root@localhost -p

hosting# mysql -u root -p

ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)

When i try to connect localy with root it works, when i try to connect from another server it works.
What seems to be the problem?

Thanks and regards.

can you do?
and when it prompts you for password just hit enter, it should let you in, if it doesn't you should change roots password to blank/no password

mysql -u root -p
