You said you used MySQL Monitor (the command line tool) when trying to connect to the server. When you started MySQL Monitor, how did you do that? Did you just double-click mysql (the MySQL Monitor) in some graphical file manager tool, or did you cd to the directory where mysql is sitting, and then type "mysql"? To make this more clear. Under Windows, I do the following on the command line: C:\> cd mysql\bin C:\mysql\bin> mysql -usuperuser -p Enter password: ******** Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 4.0.10-gamma-max-nt-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> Now I'm connected to the server, and I can issue SQL statements.
