Ami, Joseph,


Stefan, viele danke

Apparently, this is a socket problem. You have no Unix socket on your
Windows MySQL server through which to connect. Try to use TCP/IP, by
connecting with the host specified, where host is something else but
127.0.0.1 or localhost; like this:

mysql -h <machine_name>

Where machine <machine_name> is the host name of your Windows machine.

And success. Others had suggested this off-line and after some playing, it worked.

Thanks to all who helped.

Suggestion for Paul DuBois and the maintainers of the online MySQL Guide: others may have this problem (a Windows Server and a Unix Client). It may be helpful to include this.

^^ filter fodder: Good idea.

Thanks again.
