    I'm trying to install mysql on my computer as written in the book PHP and MySQL Web Developmernt.

    I'm having problems getting at the mysql prompt. I've set the path in the environment variable tab (I'm using Windows) so that it looks something like this: c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.0\bin

    When I type in mysql in the command prompt I get:
    ERROR 1405 Access Denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' using password<no>

    Hello,

    It looks like your path is fine. It seems to want a password.

    I just tried running my local MySQL server the way you did (command line) and it just died.

    I was able to start the command line by going to:

    start->programs->MySQL->MySQL Server 4.1->MySQL Command Line Client

    I hope that helps...

    Marty

    Download easyphp at easyphp.org and install it in few step. It includes PHP, mySQL, Apache and phpmyadmin. Almost everything you need to start,
