Hello mysql, Backpacker lost, heading back down to the foothills of mySQL.
How do I get mysql prompt? When I try to get the mySQL prompt: C:\mySQL\bin\mysql -u root -p Enter Password: ERROR 2013 Lost connection to mySQL server during query The above use to work, and I have not knowingly set a root password. I recently removed 4.0.4 (stopped the service, -remove and then uninstalled 4.0.4)and did a clean install of mysqld-4-0-5-beta-max (Windows 2k SP3). 4.0.5b is working. I can use it. myODBC with UID root and no password! {MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver} also "MySQLProv.3.0" MySQL OLE DB Provider (MyOLEDB) v.3.0 Both use Access 2k as a front end (ADO clientside cursor). Also I can access mySQL with some tools I use. -- Best regards, Arthur mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
