jaimitoc30 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 After installing MySQL, are you able to run it from the command prompt? and execute SQL queries from the command prompt. Usually when you get those errors is because it is not detecting a database server in 'localhost' Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72636-troubling-connecting-to-a-mysql-database/#findComment-366206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich11 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ok.. sorry about this.. I just tried to create a table in mysql admin.. and got an error... MySQL Error Number 1289 The "innodb" feature is disabled, you need mysql built with "innoDB" to have it working. Maybe this is part of my problem??

Mine isn't located under C:\mysql\bin It is located C:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.0\bin\ So when I type msql -p it asked for a password and I type it in.... but I noticed it was trying to use the username as ODBC@localhost instead of the username root.
