Getting Torrentflux working

ozt9vdujny3srf

I've been trying to set torrentflux up on my ubuntu box.

I'm a linux noob so any instructions i get generally have to be very basic.

Anyway the story so far is:

I have apache, php5, mysql server and mysql-admin installed. I have been using the guides at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_MYSQL_Database_Server


The installation guide for torrentflux i got from http://www.kurobox.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=719.


stuck on the step that says:
# Upload sql script file
mysqladmin create torrentflux
cd /mnt/share/torrentflux_2.1/sql
mysql torrentflux < mysql_torrentflux.sql
mkdir /mnt/torrent



getting this error
mark@buttons:~$ mysqladmin create torrentflux
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'mark'@'localhost' (using password: NO)



Any ideas on ho i should go about getting this working from here?

Ok, is the mysqld running? That's the server part of it. By the looks of the error msg, it is.

If it's running, then what users are there on the mysql server? I.e. if you followed the mysql tutorial chances are there's only the root user on that server.

So you'll want to turn the command into "mysqladmin -u root create torrentflux -p".

The -u tells the client to use that username (otherwise it just uses whatever username you're running your shell as) and -p tells it that you want to give it a password (it won't let you in otherwise, if there's a password on that account).

Hope that helps.

P.S. You'll have to do the same with any mysql command.
