I'm on a new VPS setup and I just did "update server software" in WHM. I noticed the message below. Is this just a generic message or is does the root mysql user currently not have a password?
I started to do what it said but thought if it does have one, I might break anything that is currently using root.
Need some advise/direction?
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h host.netcaptives.com password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
Thanks
