Hi there, I have gone thru the pdf doc's etc and i have been playiing around with devshed articles as well as being a db programmer using PostgreSql v7 on my Linux Box and that horrible thingy called M$ Access 2000 ( The non-cocurrent issue) on my Win98 Box.
Nevertheless i have been ok so far upto now! The problem is that when i try to run mysql server i get the following error ERROR 2005: Unknown MySql Server Host 'host' (11001). Setup - Mysql v3 O/S Win 98 utilising the mysqladmin & mysqlManager I have tried from ms-dos > C:\mysql\bin >msqladmin < everthings fine> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin - h host -u user -p > prompt for password > still ok > then i get the above error so i am unable to go in as root. I know that the default port 3306 and i believe that i have host as localhost correctly When i go via mysql \ bin mysqld \ i am unable to enter any commands thus have to \c to clear buffer. and when i get the mysql prompt which to me indicates the MySql is running agian on command \s states that the current user is ODBC@localhost (I installed that driver to hook up to my M$ Access mdb. Thus i have tried that telnet thing and don't get much of info back as below telnet feedback. *************************************************** 2 3.23.49-max-debug[] >ecCbgGxH [] < weired hey > *************************************************** Any suggestions as i would like to take this tool forward as it's clearly a powerful db (Once i can drive i'll d/load MySql v4 ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
