Can't run MySQL under Cygwin : connect to server at 'localhost' failed (only when using password)
Hello mysql-list, I try to install MySQL under Cygwin : I can build (mysql-5.5.17 on windows 7 using Cygwin), I can start and stop the server (only using mysqld.server - mysqladmin fails to connect). I can not connect to the server when I want to use a password (if I don't use any password the connection to the server succeeds). I need client AND server. I followed the on line mysql doc. Some comments about the installation / running process that I would underline :I do NOT use --without-server option in configure (I need the server)I use readline (ccmake configuration) and not libedit : could this be a problem ?I used mysql_install_db with --basedir, --datadir and --skip-name-resolve optionsI use a user dummy (that belongs to the mysql group) : I can not create the mysql user (Windows prevent me from creating a mysql user for a reason I can't figure out : I stopped fighting with Windows. As mentionned in the on-line doc, MySQL should work with any user : dummy is my user - dummy belongs to the group mysql - and the password is dummy)the root user doesn't exist in Cygwin (as far as I understand) : I can't use any mysqlamdin -u root ... as described in the on-line mysql doc When I use mysql or mysqladmin triggering a connection using a password, the connection fails (but succeeds if no password is used). May be someone could find a clue to solve this problem !... Could someone help me ?
