I have installed 4.0.20a binary on my own PC to work with MySQL. I take my PC home with me. The only thing I change at home is my IP address as my home n/w is different from my work n/w IP range and I have a VPN link between the office & home.
Since using this version (.17 was there before) everytime I change the IP addresses of the machine I have difficulty in getting access to the MySQL server with admin rights. I set a user & password but if I try and login as "root" with the password using mysql -uroot -p I get the error ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) If I do not use the password with the command mysql I can login. It tells me that I have logged in with [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I cannot see any of the tables that I could before. I also can't use or view the "mysql" table. I tried using the MySQL Administrator program. Again I have to login without the password.. The window comes up . If I click on "User Administration" I get "Could not fetch User names" MySQL Error Nr 1044 access denied for user 'root@ localhost' to database mysql The only thing changed (done 3 days ago) was to Service Contol->Configure Service add "Support for InnoDB" and "Named Pipes" which changed the ImagePath entry from mysqld-nt to mysql-max-nt Is there anything I can do to check the integrity of the mysql database to see if it has corrupted? I have not long started looking at this so there are no backups just my play area. I have a copy on a second machine but I don't just want to copy directory structures over because I presume I need to do more than that. Any help to get my administration rights back gratefully recieved. Kerry
