Hi,
I have just finished installing MySQL, Apache and PHP on a Windows platform and have tested my Apache and PHP installations without problems. My issue now is that when I log in using just -u root I can get through but I just can't seem to be able to set a password. It keeps giving me an error saying that the mysql.user doesn't exist. I was able to create a database and tables without any problem and will be learning how to use it soon. Is the password (lack of) a big issue?
Thanks in advance,
FayeC
i wouldn't leave root's password blank.
did you try
c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password new-password
where new-password is what you would like it to be.
