Ya you must be right. I have'nt configured the file /etc/my.cnf.I saw the file and found that the value of user= was set to mysql. Where as in the sql.conf file I pointed out the following Login = "root" Password = "password".But I don't know how to configure mysql.Does any one have a link to a good tutorial.As I am a newbie in the world of mysql
