Hi,

I'm following the book's instructions to configure MySQL. After successfully starting and stopping MySQL, on page 23 the book asks me to type: c:\>c:\mysql\bin\mysql mysql. I get the following error message:

ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database
'mysql'

Where do I go from here?

Thanks.

Kara

Hi,

I do not have a password for the root user. I typed in what you said and got the following error message:

'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
