hello guys,

a newbie needs some help...i wanted to run mysql from the command line,like ftp.I downloaded and unzipped a client and server ver 4.0.17 on my c:\ drive in a folder named 'mysql'.No installation took place coz that was a no-install package.i tried connecting to mysql05.powweb.com but i can't.however i was connected to 'localhost' just by typing mysql at the command prompt.i can connect to localhost only!that's not wat i want.

when i this typed at the command prompt:

c:\>mysql -h mysql05.powweb.com -u ninipolitutu -p
and after entering my password, an error message as such this was displayed:

ERROR 2003:Can't connect to mysql server on 'mysql05.powweb.com' <10061>

what does all this mean and how can i rectify the problem?....help me plssss...thanks..:(

ninipolitutu ... welcome to the forum

Powweb does not allow remote access to your database.ERROR 2003:Can't connect to mysql server on 'mysql05.powweb.com' <10061>You have to use phpmyadmin (http://phpmyadmin.powweb.com) or another program running from your webspace to admin your DB.
