Topic: MySQL configuration problem

Hi, I need some help:

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.3
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: FreeBSD 9.0
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

I've had MySQL server installed before installing iRedMail so I get this error when iRedMail.sh is trying to configure MySQL:

< INFO > Configure MySQL database server.
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

It makes no change if I run "make deinstall" in the mysql server directory in the ports tree or run the pkg_delete -f mysql-serverx.y.z

This is also probably why I get the "internal server error" when I try to login to /iredadmin/dashboard

Pls help

You didn't remove the database files, and the old root password remains there.

Re: MySQL configuration problem

As I'm writing this the server is restoring to a point before I started to mess round with iRedMail, but I still want to know; where are those database files saved?
