Ok, scrap that problem. I have a new one. I've installed an earlier version after realising i was using a beta. No slow down problems etc and everything seems fine.

I've run the WinMySQLadmin thing and provided username and password at the prompt for the my.ini file - j and j

Now, upon trying to connect to the server using

mysql -h localhost -u j -pj

i get this error.

ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'j@127.0.0.1' (Using password: YES)

What am i doing wrong? Shouldn't that work.

I read the manual and it said something about making a root user with a password so i followed those instructions and used the username root and its password but got the same error except j@ was root@

what am i getting wrong? Shouldn't the username and password shown in the my.ini file work?

Again, thanks for the help.

Have you reloaded your MySQL server? I think also shutting it down and restarting should work Smile

After this "Reload" the new account should work Smile
