Hi shawn, You have probably have % in the user and host of the user table, so mysql client let you in without a username. To be able to use mysql database, you have to login as the root user. Just type, mysql -u root -p and see if you can login in that way. Besides, you have to restart mysqld from your unix shell prompt, you can't do it inside the mysql client .. I hope this helps, Gurhan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Page Works Web Solutions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 3:14 AM Subject: Root pass
