Problem starting mySQL

Question

I just downloaded PHP and I tried to start mySQL with the command:

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\mySQL\bin\mysql.exe

And I got the error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Acess denied for user 'ODBC'@localhost' (using password: YES)

I found the solution online with linux, but I am running vista on this machine and have no idea what it all means. Please help, I'm tired of using school terminals.

Answer 1

This means one of three likely things.

• you need to either create a new user in mysql using the password you use
• set user password "ODBC" to what you use
• grant permission to the host from which you are trying to connect, in this case localhost

.

Answer 2

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\mySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root
