MySQL, monitor and database server are different?

[erinsaurus87]

Hi guys,
I installed Webmin today and when I try to go to the MySQL Database Server module, it asks me to login. When I use the same login I use for the MySQL monitor (which I've used many times and works fine), I get this error message:

DBI connect failed : Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Now I dont feel like I'm grasping how exactly MySQL works. Is the mysql database server and the mysql monitor two different things?

Thanks for any help,

Erin

Are you running webmin on the same pc that the MySql server is running on ?
