Can anybody help with an install problem ... I can only get as far as the message below.
I have tried all my passwords and user names but no luck ... am I missing somthing here ?
A help file might be a welcome addition to the DOC's section on setup stuff.
I am NOT very used to programs that need more knowhow how to setup than the average EXE.
Cheers

first have you set up mysql?
usally by default root has no password
so try and leave password blank if it connects great then change your root password with mysqladmin and then add a user with out full database privlages maybe just to jawmail database and the use that user and password you just created, theres some great info at mysql.org that will tell you how to do all this step by step.
So get your database set up first that is why you getting access denied.
btw unix usernames and password are not the same as mysql users and passes. read the tutorial section from he mysql manual it give great examples too.

OK now get the :Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'jawmail':
OR
Connected to MySQL server...
Database jawmail obviously already exists... let's delete it...
Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'jawmail'

Kinda odd that no username is entered - have you forgot that?
Also, the best method of installing jawmail is to just enter your admin (root) mysql password and let it create necessary database and tables, set privileges,...
You might wanna try connecting to your mysql server with a mysql text client - 'mysql -u root -p' on it should do the trick.

Sorry guys .... I have no idea what my sql is let alone talking to it !! You are talking to a WINDOZ only person here that has trouble seting up BASIC cgi scripts.
I presume I am trying to connect to the SQL server that my site is located on ?
I can only connect via a dial web connection, I have installed windows graphical GUI > mysqlgui
which seems to work but I cannot even logginto or onto the MYsql server, Pass words ? am I surpossed to know some extra ones ?
Sorry to be so lame about this but I am still wearing a learner plate.
RUDIB > I have been to the site you suggested but it is still a level to complicated for me at present ...... any ideas ?

ok first, the box you are trying to install jawmail on, do you control the box? as in have root access? or is this someone elses server your are tring to install on.
if its your box, i suggest reading, theres more than one can read out there, start with mysql, once you get that, (its not hard to learn either and only need to know a little for jawmail) then we can help you set this up.
if this is someone elses server you need to contact them so they can set up a mysql account for you.
i ask this seeing you said you dial into to the server.
#thanks Rudib for the correction to mysql doc, thought it was .org but any info on my sending mail problem?
