Hello All,
Thank you for reading this email.
I am trying to figure this problem out, but I need some help.
I am working on a Windows 2000 Server. ?I have used MySQL for the past 2 years on this system.
I recently installed the DEFAULT version of CYGWIN on my machine. ?
Everyone was wonderful and I was able to connect to mysql from the bash shell by typing mysql. ?No problems at All.
I wanted to install ALL the packages available for CYGWIN so that I can start to learn the environment and tools.
After I installed all the packages under CYGWIN, I noticed that I am no longer able to type mysql at the bash
prompt and get access to mysql. ?
I changed directory into the mysql/bin directory and typed mysql and nothing happened.
I no longer can access mysql from the BASH prompt by typing mysql.
The funny thing is...
If I type a select statement with the -e flag at the bash prompt, MySQL responds with
rows. ?So I know MySQL works and is there, but I can't connect interactively.
Could someone please help me with this. Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot either MySQL or Cygwin to see what the problem is...
Thanks In Advance.
