mysql

[ictglobal]

I tried to install and run mysql on windows 98. installation goes through but cannot connect to host. it says host unknown. error 2005

I dont have a network card installed, is that the reason. because the system requirement says needs tcp support.

ok, you dont have a network card, no problem. but from the windows installer cd, ensure that u have the networking components installed - TCP/IP, netbios/netbeui, MS filesharing.

Restart and use sql with pleasure!

Please I dont have the windows installer where can i get the software you mentioned. where can i download them. and please why is it that without them my sql will not work.

thanking you.

All of the stuff you need is on the Windows 98 cd....

Hi,
Thanks for the info.

But how can I deal with thisproblem?

"Unknown host"
"Error 2005"
"Cannot connect to host"

These errors come when I try to create a database and run mysql.

You're using either "localhost" or 127.0.0.1, right? (IS that right? been a long time since I used the actual "localhost" IP addy....)

If that's not it, I can't help you - I've never run this sort of stuff on my own machines. You could try the MS knowledgebase online....
