Hi,
I am absolutely new to this area. I am getting the following difficulty
:
Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
when I try the mysql command from within the C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin on the command window.
Please note that the MySQL is runnging as I have tried the command NET
START MySQL and it gives the following output:
The requested service has already been started.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2182.
However when I try the command mysqladmin ping, it gives error as:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Thereafter giving mySQL at the command prompt gives the error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using
password: N
O)
Since I am absolutely naive to this area...I am not getting any clues
as to what needs to be done...Any pointers will be a lot help!!
NOTE that I have first installed the myODBC driver
(mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-win32_setup.exe) and on top of it I have
installed the MySQL mysql-5.0.18-win32_Setup.exe file and without any
root passwd(that is I have toggled off the root passwd box).
Regards
SKB
