I don't know your installation in details, but I assume it is probably configured for TCP/IP connections only, so you would need the -h option. mysql -h my.computer.com -u me -pSecret If you try to connect with localhost, it again depends on your setup of the OS if that will work properly. Finally, the admin tables in the "mysql" database needs to be correctly setup, and again it should be done immediately at installation. If you follow the installation section in the MySQL manual, and connect over the full hostname, you will probably be ok.
