Firstly, I used babelfish to translate... meine Deutsche ist nicht so gut!


Recently installed twice the XAMPP package. When trying to open mysql.exe it open/close very fast.

How can I fix it?

Danke!!

When trying to open mysql.exe it open/close very fast.

According to the MySQL manual about the command "mysql":
I think you should use a valid user/password for the connection.

BTW:
Don't doubleclick on a console tool.

Hi.. where can I find some post-installation guide then to help me do the config. Getting very confused.

Update!

I tried to run the mysql.exe from Command Prompt, and managed to capture the error:

c:\Program Files\xampp\mysql\bin> mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost'<using password:NO)

So this suggests that there is some kind of user interface file that needs updating. Where do I do this?

If I look at the MySQLAdmin tool I have got my user-name and password set-up, stored within my.ini.

My god, why is MySQL so damn difficult to install?? ;0)

HELP...........!!!! Thanks

It is allready installed. Maybe it's difficult to read the manual how to use MySQL?

c:\Program Files\xampp\mysql\bin> mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost'<using password:NO)

Shure, as I told you (and you can read in the manual), you must use a valid user for the connection. e.g.:

Code: Select all

mysql -u root

(the user "ODBC" is not setup in MySQL"... so the connection failed)
