mySQL

[webman_34]

I have installed mySQL on usind standalone apache sever and it won't connect. I open up dos prompt and this is how i access it:

cd c:\mysql\bin
mysqld-opt
mysqladmin create whateverDB

and then message pops up that says connection failed error
something about port 3306, so it won't let me into the sql monitor to make tables

Any advice would be nice thanks......

did you start the mysql windows client? What Version of Windows are you on?
And once you get the connection solved, use PhpMyAdmin, much easier 🙂

I prefer to use SQLyog ... very powerful, free, and you don't need a browser to use it ...
