[thendal]

Hi all!

I am new to MYSQL ....I have downloaded mysql for windows.
from the command prompt ...I proceeded with the following steps

1,started the mysql daemon from the command prompt: mysqld

2) then entered: mysql

but i got an error
Error 2003: Can't connect to Mysql server on localhost (10061)

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the winmysqladmin program distributed with mysql? It should give you more diagnostics on whether the server is actually running, and it's an easy interface to the setup options.
