Subject:Cannot connect to mysql after install....
View as plain text  
I have followed a direction for installing mysql4.1.7 and at the end of it, 
when I try to get in I get error 2003.

Mysql starts and then terminates after a short while. Can someone tell me 
what I am doing wrong or is there a simpler way to install this program?

I followed the instruction here:  
http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/mybasic.htm

However, the file that was created for my.cnf was quite confusing

At one time, the error I was getting was:

Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist

Once I started the server per instruction #11, I did not know how to get to 
mysql prompt. I thought I had to login and each time I tried login in, I get 
the following error message.

CAn someone help please?
