mysql -u root mysql why does my system need it
Okay, I've been trying to install EQ emulator for days.
I've followed all the Howto's and I am now asking for help.
I have even clean formated and reinstalled
even tried without xp sp2 incase it caused problems.
No matter what I try, I get the 1405 or 2001 error when I run World.exe.
Starts with Got signal 0
Current world versiob 0.6.0-dr2
Database Error: lost connection, attempting to recover ..
error 2006
Now i am wondering if the fact my system gives access denied if I try mysql.exe (grant etc)
it all seems to work but if i test
mysql -u <user id> -p
access denied when i input password.
Why does my system need the mysql -u root mysql
to be able to do the GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO someid@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY 'somepass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
I am just trying to get a handle on this because I have read the Howto's i've spent the last 48 hours trying different ways.
Any suggestions or help would be very happily recieved as would any links to something i missed to make me look dumb.
