Thanks, guys! :) Binding to 127.0.0.1 did the trick. It works lovely now. It even works with all the databases I copied from /var/db/mysql on my FreeBSD box (even the user-database). Since my FreeBSD box is a production server, this way I can safely test out stuff until everything works as planned, and not worry about screwing things up. (Gee, I'm surprised this actually works on Windoze; and, all-in-all, without much trouble) - 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?
