Hello peeps smiling smiley

Who on here knows MySQL 4.1? I tried to install it on my WinXP Home (SP2) laptop but have been unable to get it to load due to the following error message:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

how are you running the mysql client? you should prob run it with something like 'mysql -p ' giving it the password that you gave the installer for root when you installed it. Under unix you can have a .my.cnf file in your home directory where you can list your password to make it so that you don't have to give it on client startup, unsure if XP will have something similar.

btw i would suggest that you uninstall the mysql client and install a package called 'wampserver'.. it is apache/php/mysql all bundled together and i'd also suggest you install phpmyadmin when you first start learning mysql as it is all point and client but shows you the commands it's running on the sql server so you can learn to do it quicker.
