How do I configure MySQL?
tagsInstalling and configuring MySQLtagsFor information, should others need to repeat this exercise, the exact process followed was: 1/ Install MySQL 4.1 using default location & with Data file location set to C:\MySQL (for ease of backing-up) 2/ Install MySQL Administrator using default options 3/ Install MySQL Query Browser & test database 4/ Install Compendium 5/ Edit file MySQL.properties for database connection – note URL requires the localhost IP address (127.0.0.1) & not ‘localhost’, which is OK for MySQLAdministrator tool access 6/ Start Compendium In retrospect, my original installation failed at point (5). This (finger trouble, admittedly) would not have occurred if the installer included either a database connector configuration wizard (to edit MySQL.properties) or simply displayed the readme.txt file. Clues regarding the need to edit the MySQL.properties file are well hidden!! (KC) ===== You should have localhost defined in your host files in Windows.
