After installing MySQL, there are some issues that you should address.
For example, on Unix, you should initialize the data directory and
create the MySQL grant tables. On all platforms, an important security
concern is that the initial accounts in the grant tables have no
passwords. You should assign passwords to prevent unauthorized access
to the MySQL server. Optionally, you can create time zone tables to
enable recognition of named time zones.
The following sections include post-installation procedures that are
specific to Windows systems and to Unix systems. Another section,
starting-server, applies to all platforms; it describes what to do if
you have trouble getting the server to start.
default-privileges, also applies to all platforms. You should follow
its instructions to make sure that you have properly protected your
MySQL accounts by assigning passwords to them.
When you are ready to create additional user accounts, you can find
information on the MySQL access control system and account management
in privilege-system, and user-account-management.
