Subject:Connection failed!!
View as plain text  
I have just loaded MySQL 5 and MySQL Front on to a new computer, and  
I am now getting a MySQL-Error which is:

Connection failed:
1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

My Old pc has exactly the same settings but that uses MySQL 4

I have done a system restore to the point before I installed MySQL 5,  
and then installed MySQL 4 and that went on with no problem, and I am  
able to make a connection with MySQL Front! So, what's different in  
the processes of installation between v4 and v5 that stops me making  
a connection with v5? What have I done wrong.

In both instances, I have used 'localhost' as my Hostname and 'root'  
as my username, and 'root' as a password for v4 and 'NO' password for  
v5 (because I didn't see anywhere where it asked for it - I think).

I am using MySQL Front because I'm not Neo and I don't see the world  
in zero's and one's ;)
