Question

The detailed Oracle setup that followed the beginning installation prompted me for a password, and to reenter that, but never asked what a username should be. So I don't know what mine is.

It's 7 years since set up MySQL on a Windows machine, and the process seems to have gotten more complicated. If it's any indication of where I am in all of this, just to see what would happen I typed "MySQL" at my command prompt, and it returned with "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"

I have a JDBC connection (I'm ordinarily going in through PHP), but I haven't filled in the resin-web.xml with anything yet because I don't know what my MySQL username is.

Thanks for any help.

Was it helpful?

Solution

root is the default user in MySQL.
