mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

2008-10-04 Thread Varuna Seneviratna
I am using WinXP.I am wanted to shutdown MySQL service from the command line
and ran the command mysqladmin -p root shutdown next the root password was
asked for,I entered the correct password, when I entered the password the
below displayed error was the result

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'



How can I correct this?
Is this because of a firewall preventing access to port 3306?If a firewall
is preventing access how was it able to ask for the password?

I have Nortan Internet Security trial version running and the windows
firewall is disabled.If this is caused by a firewall barrier please tell me
how to open the port in Nortan Internet Security.

Hi Varuna,

I think you're missing the -u option (User for login if not current user.)

Try: mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown

(-p without a value indicates to prompt for a password from the terminal.)

Hi Varuna,

The problem looks like it is with the command you issued. The correct
syntax is:

mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown

then supply root password.

Without giving the -uroot argument, it doesn't know that you are trying
to log in as the root user, which is why it is telling you that access
is denied for [EMAIL PROTECTED], rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks

Your advice worked.I have another problem.I stopped the service from the
services shortcut in the Administrative tools.then according to to the
reference manual to start the server for the first time the command to run
is given as C:\C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld

But it didn't work, the following was the displayed message

RE: How to start mysqld server, What is the difference between a server and a server?

2008-10-04 Thread Martin Gainty

service usually indicates a background service such as Windows Service
MySQL implements Windows Service Functionality thru 
mysqld-nt binary documentation is available at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/multiple-windows-services.html

a server is a standalone binary or even possibly a binary acting in concert 
with assocated dll's 
or possibly a permutation of java jars containing a main 
to start mysql as a standalone (non-service) server execute
mysqld --standalone
documentation is located at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-options.html

if you believe you have a misconfiguration in %MYSQL_HOME%, %PATH%

or even possibly my.ini configuration settings


you would use the debug option for the server such as what is shown here
./mysqld --debug=d:t:F:L,
documentation on this attribute is scarce and is mostly used by mysql engineers 
but this may be helpful
http://lists.mysql.com/internals/35722

concerning configuration files such as my.ini based I would use the templates 
found at %MYSQL_HOME%

05/30/2008  08:17 PM 4,954 my-huge.ini
05/30/2008  08:17 PM21,204 my-innodb-heavy-4G.ini
05/30/2008  08:17 PM 4,931 my-large.ini
05/30/2008  08:17 PM 4,938 my-medium.ini
05/30/2008  08:17 PM 2,469 my-small.ini

in other words for ISAM small database requirement
 ren my-small.ini to my.ini 
ensure my.ini is placed on %PATH%
