Hey guys. I installed mysql yesterday and can connect to it just fine using mysql -u root -p in the terminal, but when I try to connect to it using Cocoa it gives me bad location or bad privileges error. Any ideas? I just tried turning off the firewall to see if that made any difference and no dice.

Thanks,
PJ

I guess I should specify CocoaMySQL, I didn't realize there was a bunch of Cocoa stuff

What settings are you putting into the connection dialog? Just the basic "Host: localhost" and "User: root"?

And of course you payed attention to the whole old/new password systems and that CocoMySQL uses the old system... unless you are using one of the forked versions...

i'm a new apple guy so i'm not sure what you're talking about. I installed mysql 4.1 yesterday and cocoamysql. All I'm entering is localhost, root, and the password in the textfields.

This has nothing at all to do with Apple. You will want to do your own research, since I have already given you the clues you should already have looked in to... This is well documented, and was probably even in the install read-me's that you <naturally> read already.

Do me a favor next time, if you're going to continue to act like a condescending prick, don't bother responding. It's my second day on a mac, I've had zero problems with installing mysql on my windows, linux, or freebsd boxes, so it's hard not to assume there's something related to Apple that I've missed.

Check out this hint. It sounds like that's what you're seeing.

This is a pretty piss poor way to behave. You should be ashamed of yourself for acting like some 1337 h4x0r kiddie shouting "RTFM n00b"
