I have a windows installation of myql. The links Michael gave give correct info. Here's a synopsis: To test a mysql install on windows open the mysql/bin dir in a dos window. At the prompt type mysqld --console
you should get a message back that indicates the server is running, such as mysqld: ready for connections open a second dos window at the same location and at the prompt type mysql you should get a message back similar to this where the x's are replaced by the version you are running: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: x.xx.xx-debug Type 'help' for help. mysql> HTH, Johnny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Stassen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Singh, Bijay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Mysql General mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 11:01 AM Subject: Re: MySQL Installation Problem > > I'm including the list on this.
