Re: CF8, Mysql db connection

["neuby79"]

okay, I once again have everything screwed up.  newbie question:  do you need 
to go through the terminal when using the mysql administrator.  I have mysql 5 
running at the start up.  Now when I try to connect with the mysql 
administrator I get a connection error:  Could not connect to MySql instance at 
localhost.  Error:  Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'.  Before I 
started screwing around with the terminal I could at least get connected with 
that.

 I'm not even sure what to do next.  I tried re-installed the mysql admin, but 
it left the old settings already in 
there???:brokenheart;:mad;:disgust;:confused;
