Hi,
I am very new to mysql. In the past I was using Access. I don't have any other experience setting up databases. I bought a book on MYSQL and downloaded the installation file to one of our server and then installed it using most of the defaults. I am now at my XP Pro laptop and want to access the database and start doing things such as importing table from access etc. I wasn't exactly sure what to use for a front end so I choose MYSQL Query browser. I am having trouble connecting to the newly created database. MYSQL Query Browser comes up with a screen that asks for a couple of things. Under stored connection I put in OCRPDC which is the name we use for the server I put this on. For stored host I put in the IP address of this server. I left the port as 3306 and arranged for this port to be open during the installation. Under username I have tried both root and cwildeman. I thought during the installation it asked for a user ID and this is what I plugged in. For a password I have used both my normal windows password which I use for many things and our administrator password which I thought I used during the installation. I wasn't sure what to use to Default Schema so I just put in test. I keep getting a connection error number 2003 stating I can't connect to MYSQL server. Is there something that someone can suggest? Thanks, Chuck
