I got around the connection problem by typing ‘root’ (without quotes) as username instead of the username I am logged on as.

You need to be an admin in order to do some of these things. Try adding yourself to the sudoers file (terminal>visudo). Also, if you have problems, lifehacker is a great place to get tips on mysql as well.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the tips. But I am encountering a prob from few days. Whenever I try to install something, it starts to install nicely but later the below command appears on terminal
Setting up acidlab (0.9.6b20-22) …
This command remains as it is. Even though one day I left comp on for 8 hours or so allowing terminal to set acidlab but it didn’t. Now I was installing mysql everthing went rite It also prompted me to enter password for root. (But as mike as commented I didn’t enter any password) after that this line appeared on terminal Setting up acidlab (0.9.6b20-22) …
and terminal is not progressing at all. So please help me (As I need to submit my DBMS project)
