mysqladmin -u root password 'passwordyouwant'

always remember that Google is your friend.

I googled and found out about that.

Now I get the following error on my php pages that attempt a mysql
connection.

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()"

I think I'm suppose enable the mysql_connect() function from ssomewhere or
something.

Could someone give me a hand here??
