Ok, I tried to set up MySQL at home (3.23.53), on my windows machine, so I can test database stuff before I use it on the UNIX server. I installed it, set it up as services, the service is running, yet I get:
C:\mysql\bin>mysql.exe ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) I created the following \my.cnf: ------------------- [mysqld] bind-address=212.238.195.5 skip-innodb skip-bdb datadir=/var/db/mysql socket=/tmp/mysql.sock port=3306 [mysql.server] basedir=/usr/local ------------------- Obviously, this works fine on my UNIX server; but I must be doing something wrong on Windoze. Is there a log somewhere I could check? The socket does not seem to exist either. Thanks. - Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
