我正在尝试在mac os 10.6上使用Homebrew by brew安装MySQL 5.1.52。
一切都很顺利，我也成功地使用mysql_install_db。
然而，当我试图连接到服务器使用:
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.52/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'mypass'
我得到:
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.52/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost'
failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
我尝试访问mysqladmin或mysql使用-u root - root以及，
但是有没有密码都不行。
这是全新机器上的全新安装，据我所知，新安装必须在没有根密码的情况下访问。我还试过:
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.52/bin/mysql_secure_installation
但我也得到了
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
我认为如果已经安装了旧版本的mysql，就会出现这种情况。我也遇到了同样的问题，上面的解决方案对我都不起作用。我是这样安排的:
使用brew的remove & cleanup命令，卸载launchctl脚本，然后删除mysql目录在/usr/local/var，删除我现有的/etc/my.cnf(留给你，如果它适用)和launchctl plist
更新plist的字符串。还要注意，您的备用安全脚本目录将基于您正在安装的MySQL版本。
循序渐进:
brew remove mysql
brew cleanup
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
然后我从头开始:
installed mysql with brew install mysql
ran the commands brew suggested: (see note: below)
unset TMPDIR
mysql_install_db --verbose --user=`whoami` --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp
Start mysql with mysql.server start command, to be able to log on it
Used the alternate security script:
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.10/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Followed the launchctl section from the brew package script output such as,
#start
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
#stop
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
注意:啤酒清理的——force位也会清理过时的酒桶，这是一个新的自制啤酒功能。
注意第二点:一个评论者说第二步不是必需的。我不想测试它，所以是YMMV!
好吧，我也遇到过同样的问题，但我已经解决了。由于某种原因，mysql_secure_installation脚本在使用Homebrew安装mysql时不能开箱即用，所以我手动安装了。在CLI中输入:
mysql -u root
这样你就可以进入mysql了。现在执行以下操作(取自mysql_secure_installation):
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('your_new_pass') WHERE User='root';
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';
DELETE FROM mysql.db WHERE Db='test' OR Db='test\\_%'
DROP DATABASE test;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
现在退出并返回mysql: mysql -u root -p
