#1 Connection

[Daniel R. Lahey]

I'm having trouble connecting to MySQL with CocoaMySQL in
Panther. I've tried entering localhost, <computername>.local, and
127.0.0.1, and I've tried using both my standard account and the
root account and passwords, but I'm not able to connect. I suspect
the MySQL installation has some problems, because I've only
gotten it running once (briefly) from the command line. I turned to
CocoaMySQL out of frustration after trying for weeks off and on to
use the command line, following at least 4 different sets of
instructions found here and elsewhere for getting MySQL running
and re-installing it several times. I'm somewhat of a newbie to
NIX, but I do know how to set/view ownership and permissions and
get around at the command line. Any suggestions?

What version of MySQL do you have installed?
If it is a v4.1 or higher (beta) then you will have problems
connecting.
