mySQL setup on XP localhost?

I have got the server working on Win XP Pro according to Winmysqladmin.e xe.
I have a password in my.ini but when I go to CMD to login to root, it gives
me: "ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost ' <Using password:
YES>"

I am the system admin. I am however not using 'localhost' as such since I
am behind a router that has assigned this workstation: 192.168.0.3. The
USER and HOST are clearly shown in winmysqladmin.e xe, like it knows about
it, but the mySQL.user database shows only root USERS on "Build & Localhost"
and two blanks also...the only way I can currently log on.

Is this a no Win situation? I've been at this for 3 days going in circles
and I suspect UNIX developers are exceeding happy to hear this. Yeah, I'm
using IIS 5.1 instead of Apache too.

What do you mean by this? I don't understand what .ini has to do with
passwords.
me: "ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost ' <Using password:
YES>"


Have you tried logging in without password? For example:

c:\mysql\bin\my sql -u root

I am trying to use php as a kind of servlet to act as a middle man between a java applet and mysql. I know java has jdbc but it's flakey and painful. php access to mysql is much nicer. So I have: 1. An html page that holds the applet. 2. a php page that accepts data submitted to it by the applet via the $_POST array and writes it to the mysql database. This page never makes it to the browser window. 3. a simple Thank you page that shows...

I have a dedicated server running 'FreeBSD 4.9 STABLE' at a hosting site. They have done some default installations, presumably from the CVS ports package ??. Herein lies the problem, "I do not know" what they have done! At first it was apparent that MySQL was installed mysql_install_db ; GRANT TABLES etc. ??? so I ran "mysql_install_db --force"

I installed mySQL and have it running.... but I think I made a mistake somewhere along the line...... I believe I did follow the instructions that were provided with the distribution at: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ The database is up. It seems that a test database instance has been created (named "test"). I can see it. However, the other database instance that should have been created, named "mysql" doesn't show up when I do "show...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
