It exists in the following folder on my Win8 box: /Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/bin Yes, apparently it does exist in context of mysql. At any rate, it didn't work. Is there another config file in there? <<<<<<<< That is a Perl script, meant for, under Windows, configuration _reporting_. One directory up look for "my.ini". As for its meaning, maybe <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-system-variables.html> helps, after mysqladmin -uroot -p variables > (somepathyoumayuse) OR mysql -uroot -p -e"show global variables" > (somepathyoumayuse) for showing all variables that may be in that file. For me the commands work also with "-hlocalhost" or "-h127.0.0.1" in the command-line, as expected. In any case, your original error message, although it is a MySQL error, as Harald said does not look like something straight from MySQL client ("mysql.exe"), but something passed through another. What did you enter to get it? Note this quote: The error (2003) Can't connect to MySQL server on 'server' (10061) indicates that the network connection has been refused. You should check that there is a MySQL server running, that it has network connections enabled, and that the network port you specified is the one configured on the server. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
