When I try to connect in Knoda or mysqlcc I get the following message:

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Sounds like mysql simply isn't running. Check with "rcmysql status", and start it with "rcmysql start" if it isn't.
I don't know anything about databases
Don't forget to read the docs in /usr/share/doc/packages/mysql/
And don't forget to set the password for the admin user, it will tell you how the first time you start it
Thanks Anders. (I know I didn't ask, but I am interested in this.) Mike
