At any rate, it didn't work. Is there another config file in there? > *what client software you are using to connect to a > mysql-server* I had written a python script. However, even if I try your and the other fellow's suggestion and open up a command prompt with admin privileges and type mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p <pass> it just opens up a mysql session, and that only if I do it from the folder where that script lives since it's not in the path. Otherwise, it complains it can't find the script. TIA, John -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
