[gridmud-developer] connection refused on server.bat -- basic help needed

[<ide...@f-...>]

Hey guys, 

If I was a little more savvy on this kind of stuff I'm sure this
wouldn't be a problem. I downloaded mySQL 5.0, created a gridmud DB and
a gridmud user. I'm a w2k user with jre 1.4.2 btw. However, this is what
I got when I ran server.bat:

My gridmud dir is in c:\ and mySQL is in c:\program files\mysql\mysql50.
The mysql data is in c:\mysql50. My gridmud user DB password isn't
'gridmud' (I neglected to check this in grid.properties before I created
the user). In any case do I need to change something to point to the
gridmud DB? The gridmud DB was running when I ran server.bat, and I
tried changing the DB password in grid.properties to the gridmud DB user
password, to no effect. 


thanks,
