I do this upgrad of tool/  sudo bash upgrade_iredadmin.sh

then i get this error that there is no .my.cnf file in root folder.

So i added this and it shows

<<< ERROR >>> MySQL root user name or password is incorrect in /root/.my.cnf, please double check.

So this is my example:

[client]
host=127.0.0.1
port=3306
user=root
password="xxxxyyyyyzzzz"

when i type mysql  -> i get this result

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'COMPANYNAME'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

when i type mysql -u root -pxxxxyyyyyzzzz

mysql> this is good :-)

The bad thing is i can not get this to work with the .my.cnf file.

Can you help me ?
