After running mysql_install_db, the mysql files are owned by root:wheel instead of mysql:mysql I've noticed that is a missing step in the docs. # mysql_install_db # chown -R mysql:mysql /var/db/mysql # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql start How it sticks long enough until reboot sounds like a memory cache, which is flushed of course at reboot. --TJ On 7/27/09, Stew Houston <stewhouston@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm having trouble getting my MySQL server root password to "stick."
