Hello!
SKB> Hello -
SKB> I'm very new at this, so please pardon the very beginner questions...
SKB> I'm attemtping to install MySQL to my local machine running Win98. The
SKB> install seems to go alright, but when I try "mysqld--standalone" it
SKB> gives me an error. Then I tried "mysqld -standalone", which seemed to
SKB> work.
SKB> Then I entered, "mysqladmin create testDB" and I got the error message
SKB> "Can't connect to MySQL Server on 'localhost'. I tried telnetting to
SKB> "telnet localhost 3306" and got an error that it couldn't connect.
SKB> Can anyone offer help?
You need to use just
c:\mysql\bin\mysqld
command to start mysqld
Also note that you need to have winsock 2 installed on your
Win.
