Cannot connect to MYSQL on Windows Server 2003

Post by kblum » Tue 05 Sep 2006 19:16

I just setup MySQL and the Developer Tools on a Windows 2003 Server machine. At first the MySQL install said there was a problem with port 3306 being blocked but that went away. I can login under the Root password I assigned at MySQL install with the MySQL Command Line Client but I cannot connect with the Developer Studio. Its says that "Access denied for user 'Root@localhost' (using password: YES)" .

Is there something I am missing here?

TIA,
Ken

Usually, this error means that you have specified incorrect password or user does not require password.
