Hi All New to MySQL in that I have never ran a database.
I have Mandrake 10.1 in which I can not connect to because I do not have the correct MySQL connector but MySQL server is working. Having spent over a week looking for the correct connector twice -last August and last week - I am well aware my chance of finding the correct program is not high. So since I have a number of equivalent computers that I can use for test computers I promptly downloads SuSE 10.0 and installed it on one. In the Mandrake box at the root command line and at the user command line I can enter the command 'mysql' and promptly MySQL starts. In the SuSE 10.0 and SuSE 9.2 box [which I also have] when I type the command mysql I get the error message 'Access Denied Can Not Connect to the MySQL Server - Error 202'. I have received the identical error message in the Mandrake box in the past but only when MySQL Server was not installed and I only had MySQL Client installed. I then tried to access MySQL by mysqladmin show and received an identical error message that I am unable to connect. I have reviewed the connection information on the MySQL Connection page and I have additionally tried the following logged into the computer as root: mysql -uroot mysql -uroot -p<root password> with identical negative results. Identical attempts were tried on both the 9.2 and 10.0 SuSE systems immediate after system installation so there is no possibility of system corruption or of system modification from initial setup. Any assistance as to how to start or access MySQL on the SuSE systems would be appreciates as like I stated above there is NO possibility of MY beingable to access MySQL by OpenOffice in Mandrake 10.1 due to a Connection issue that is well above my ability to resolve.
