Hi, Check whether ur mysql is running using the following command. $/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status if the reply is running... then type 'mysql' (if you have anonymous login) otherwise type 'mysql -u root -p' If you don't get the mysql prompt then you will have to add an user using mysqladmin, I haven't done that yet, read the manual. And let me know if you succeed.
