Front end won't connect

2002-12-09 Thread DIetrich Speer 
Question from a Linux and MySql newbie

I just installed RedHat 8.0 and MySQL. During installation there was no
prompt for any database server properties (hostname, user).

Now I downloaded MySQLCC and try to configure the connection to the server.
I assume the server is running, because I can start and stop it through the
services interface.

However, whatever info I put into the Client - it will always give me an
error 145 (User can't connect).

What am I doing wrong? I followed the instructions in the INstall file to
set up a new user and got an error also.

I guess that's what happens when a MSSQL guy, spoilt and unnerved by endless
wizzards, tries to learn Linux.

Are you connecting locally or remotely?  By default, MySQL creates a 
Localhost Root account with no password.

You can try logging in with that account.  If you need to log in remotely, 
you'll need to change the permissions on the user table (add a % to the 
hosts section to allow for any ip addresses to connect).
