The server is there - and here is the error that I recieve -

Error message


FYI - MySQL Administrator is just a GUI for MySQL and is not needed, but as I said - I can't run MySQL from the command line either.


As for the exact syntax of the code - I haven't used any at this point,

I have only made it to the Login Screen

The farthest I have made it past this screen is the error message in the previous hlink.

I could post screenshots of the steps to the configuration process, as well - but noone wants to sort through them and I can't see a reason for it - that being said, I used the default server options throughout and followed direction.

As for my firewall (not mentioned yet - but im practicing pre-emptive replying) I use EZ FW and if anyone is familiar with it, I did - - - firewall -> main; and added TCP port 3306 for incoming and outgoing then I did - - - program control -> programs and allowed both server and administrator access and server rights.
If I didn't do something I should have or did something I shouldn't have and someone is familiar with EZ FW, then please, by all means let me know.

Thats about all I can muster for this reply - any more questions or suggestions I will surely answer and listen to.

Thanks
