RE: Problem running MySQL in high school lab
I second Todd's suggestion. There is no need to run Cygwin in order to have the MySQL servers or clients or any of its tools operating under Win32 (95, 98, 2000, ME, 2003, XP, etc). I only ever use Cygwin when I need to run a remote Linux desktop and as a teaching tool. Everything else I do with MySQL is platform specific. If I am on a *nix platform, I use *nix tools. If I am on Win32, I use Win32 tools. The differences are minimal and the stability is well worth it.

Re: Problem running MySQL on MacOS X.3
If you don't have a process mysqld running, then mysql isn't running. You may try starting up mysql directly (just type mysqld), rather than through the startup script or through mysqld_safe, since they suppress the error messages. You should then see some error message that may help determine why mysql isn't running. Also, to access mysql, you should provide user name and password. You won't be able to access it if you don't, unless it's configured that way. mysql -u username -p Keep in mind that the username and password are not related to the username and password in the OS. Many people trying to run it on a Mac miss this point. You may also try running the repair disk permissions from Apple's Disk Utility and then installing MySQL again. In the past there had been privilege issues on certain folders that prevented MySQL from running or installing correctly. That said, I've been running MySQL on a Mac for quite some time without a problem. So if will run. There are some known issues with running 4.1 on a Mac.

Problem running MySQL
Hi I have installed MySQL 4.0.18-nt on a Windows XP machine connected to a network. I have administrator privileges. I have also installed MySQL Administrator. When I try to look at the users I get the following error message: Could not fetch Usernames MySQL Error Nr. 1044 Access denied for user: '@%' to database 'mysql' When I run WinMySQLAdmin 1.4 and click on the 'Databases' tab no databases are listed. When I work from the console and at the mysql prompt when I type in SHOW DATABSES; it only lists the test database but not the mysql database. When I use the MySQL Contorl Client to view the server I get: ERROR 1227: Access denied. You need the PROCESS privilege for this operation I have tried using the mysql_fix_privileges.sql but that also gives me lots of errors. Does anybody have an idea of what is wrong? I have repeatedly tried to reinstall MySQL. Thanks Franz Klein -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
