Subject: Need Help Setting Up MySQL on Win98
Hello -
I'm very new at this, so please pardon the very beginner questions...
I'm attemtping to install MySQL to my local machine running Win98. The
install seems to go alright, but when I try "mysqld--standalone" it
gives me an error. Then I tried "mysqld -standalone", which seemed to
work.
Then I entered, "mysqladmin create testDB" and I got the error message
"Can't connect to MySQL Server on 'localhost'. I tried telnetting to
"telnet localhost 3306" and got an error that it couldn't connect.
Can anyone offer help?
Thanks -
Shawn
