Hi, i'm on page 23 of the Beginning PHP, Apache, MySQL Web Development book. I have just installed MySQL, which starts up as a service and I have ran 'mysql test'. However, trying to run 'mysql mysql' gives me the following error:
Error 1044: Access Denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql'

I have tried looking this up in the mySQL manual but the information is not very helpful. (The error code only appears on 1 line in the entire manual). I am using MySQL version 4.0.20a-debug for Windows XP.

This could be a change in the new version of MySQL but leaves me unable to continue configuring the server :(

Any advice on this will be appreciated.

Hi,
  Well I followed all the steps right according to the book and "WOW" every thing is going very cool man.
 You just reinstall MySQL "mysql-4.0.18-win" otherwise I fear you are missing any step somewhere (silly mistakes kind of thing). Believe the book. Its really give no error to me as yet.
Keep sharing your experience.
