Question

Problem starting up mySQL

Answer 1

+1 A:

It means one of three likely things.

you need to either create a new user in mysql with the password you are using
set the password of the "ODBC" user to what you are using
grant permission to the host you are attempting to connect from, in this case localhost

Without more information to your specific setup it will be very difficult to answer with more accuracy.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Have you tried supplying the username to the command, for example:

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\mySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root

?

This should work. Looks like trying to connect with a default user which happens to be a non existing one.

What does this mean?

And how exactly do I fix this?

ptabatt 2010-05-01 17:42:41

Bear in mind, I haven't ever used mySQL before, this will be my first time if (I can configure it properly)

ptabatt 2010-05-01 17:43:49

There are users in the MySQL database. You need to specify the user you want to connect as. The super MySQL account is the one named root.In EasyPHP, (from what I read), they don't have a default user password.

Alright, how do I do this?

ptabatt 2010-05-01 17:56:45

Try the same command as you've done before but add '-u root' to the end. When you are requested for a password just press return because the default password is blank. One you are logged in then you can do whatever you want.
