Did you put the my.ini file in the c:\windows directory? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shabbir Yusufali" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 2:30 AM Subject: SQL server
Hi I have just installed mysql directly onto my f:\ drive (instead of installing on c: and moving it across). I run Windows ME. However, when I go to my MS-DOS mode and navigate to my bin directory, then input the following command: F:\MySql\bin>mysql -h localhost -u root -p it tells me Error 2003: Can't connect to MySql server on 'localhost' (10061) what am I doing wrong? I also tried to rename the my-example.cnf file to my.ini, changed the basedir command to point to my F:\ drive but nothing changed. Note: I have already set up the password and user as root. Also my OmniHttpd server and PHP is working fine.
