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.)

Re: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
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 On Sat, 2008-10-04 at 13:56 +0530, Varuna Seneviratna wrote: 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?

Hi Ian 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 --console But it didn't work, the following was the displayed message 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld' is not recognized as an i nternal or external command, operable program or batch file. *But when I used mysqld-nt The following is the out put* C:\C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt --console 081004 16:56:01 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43655 081004 16:56:01 [Warning] Neither --relay-log nor --relay-log-index were used; s o replication may break when this MySQL server acts as a slave and has his hostn ame changed!! Please use '--relay-log=varuna-e2a34b74-relay-bin' to avoid this p roblem. 081004 16:56:01 [Note] C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt: re ady for connections. Version: '5.0.67-community-nt' socket: '' port: 3306 MySQL Community Edition (GPL) 1 In the reference manual there are three server types how can I start the mysqld server? 2 What is the difference between installing MySQL as a server and a service, Is it only that when installed as a service MySQL server starts when Windows starts and when Windows stops it stops? 3 After starting the server in above mentioned way How can I use MySQL server Do I have to open another console window and do what?
