Error 2002, strange. When the MySQL server is down, you should get error 2003, but maybe that's different with MySQLCC. To track down the problem, try as follows: 1) Make sure the MySQL server is running. Do something like "ps xa | grep mysqld". If it's not running, try to start it like this: "mysqld". This should report errors on startup, telling you where the problem lies. 2) If the problem reported says something about "host.frm missing", you forgot the post-installation duties, i.e. to set up the grant tables. Here's how you do that: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Post-installation.html 3) If it's running, you have a privilege problem. If your MySQL installation is new, you'll have just some basic users set up. One of them is called "root", who can connect from localhost without password. Thus, try this: "mysql -uroot". Hope this helps. BTW, please keep the discussion on the list!
