Hi all - thanks so much for the advice that has been coming in regarding my mysql local installation problems. Here's what's going on - Tim and Paul - I especially appreciated your replies - do you have any ideas on the following:
I reinstalled mysql (made sure I downloaded the binary with the installer, per Tim's advice.) But when I ran the command suggested to start up mysqlwinadmin, I wasn't prompted for a master password/login (although everything else seemed to run smoothly). I tried once more to give access to my database by running the following after logging in successfully to the mysql monitor on command line: GRANT all privileges on mydatabase.* to ""@localhost; and got the following: Error 1044: access denied for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Paul, I hope I'm being specific enough on the code and error messages - it's clear to me that for some reason I'm still unable to set user rights. But without having the option presented to me, I'm unsure how to fix the problem. Again, I am running Windows 2000. Thanks again for any insight!
