 I've been trying to set up mysql on osx 10.6.5 for two days now using
 macports. I finally got past the mysql_install_db error, now I can't get
 past this one:

 ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
 password: NO)

 Ha! I never even set a password for mysql. I've installed and used mysql
 before with no problems, should I switch back to postgresql?

 Thanks,

 Jason
