I have only change the location where 'mysqlacess' script expect to find the 'mysql' client.
I have create grant tables with the scripts mysql-install_db.
But i can't set  a password for the mysql root user.
I try to do this with :
./bin/mysqladmin -u meddouri -h protee -P 23 -p password 'new-password'
