Hello, I am new to mysql and have a couple of questions that I can't seem to get through at this time.
I have installed the product on my win2000 box. I followed the docs for PC, and removed the generic user in the users table. Here is my question: According to the docs when I go to the cmd window, I should type in mysql -username xxxx and then get prompted for a password. But I get this: C:\mysql\bin>mysqld -username root Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: No error 031022 10:46:57 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 031022 10:46:57 Aborting 031022 10:46:57 mysqld: Shutdown Complete But if I type just mysql C:\mysql\bin>mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 8 to server version: 4.0.15-max-debug Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> I also tried this, and this is how I need to connect with JDBC C:\mysql\bin>mysql -username root -p Enter password: ****** ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) But it fails. I know I have a root user with a valid password? Where am I going wrong? I did create the 'menagerie' database, and can't get back to it.
