mysql -uroot error 1045 (28000): access denied for user

I was able to fix these by manually making the directory and then giving it to the mysql user.

Copy and save that.

If not done somehow on successive re-installations it does not show that password.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user rootlocalhost (using password: YES).

Any advice I know this same error message has been reported on stackoverflow and serverfault, but in the QAs I read they arent connecting to localhost.

In my case, the reason was that the tmp folder was not accessible and install process was silently failing in root user creation.

Id uninstall mysql, give tmp the right permissions and then reinstall mysql.

It worked for me.

Exclude all from the bin folder of the original installer and copy the files from the extension.
