Password root mysql di fedora

Sedikit bingung awalnya saat menginstall mysql di fedora, kebeneran baru megang lagi fedora13 setelah lumayan lama dengan ubuntu. Di ubuntu saat kita menginstall mysql dengan paket manager apt-get maka sebelum memasuki tahap akhir proses installasi mysql kita biasanya di tanya promp terminal untuk menambahkan password dari root account mysql namun ternyata pada fedora berbeda dan pembuatan password user root mysqlnya dengan manual.

Berikut ialah cara membuat password user root mysql dan opsi-opsi security terkait mysql di fedora :

Pastikan mysql sudah jalan :

service httpd start
service httpd restart

Set password root mysql fedora :

mysql_secure_installation

cat:
Jika awal install mysql dan pada saat akan ditanya password awal biarkan kosong saja dengan menekan ENTER, baru setelahnya isikan password baru untuk user root mysql. 

Dan langkah berikutnya akan ditanyakan juga opsi-opsi security berikut password mysql di fedora. Berikut ialah output promp cara buat password root mysql :

[root@local ~]# mysql_secure_installation

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL

SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current

password for the root user. If you've just installed MySQL, and

you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,

so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):

OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL

root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] y

New password:

Re-enter new password:

Password updated successfully!

Reloading privilege tables..

... Success!

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone

to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for

them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation

go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a

production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y

... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This

ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n

... skipping.

By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can

access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed

before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] n

... skipping.

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far

will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL

installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MySQL!

[root@local ~]#

Untuk login ke mysql sama saja :

mysql -u root -p
