I want to set up a WIN+Cygwin+PHP+MySql enviornment.

So, following the instructions from your website:

1) Installed mysql 4.1 server on WIN/XP, and that is workable;

2) Installed from mysql-4.1.13a.tar.gz with "without-server" option;

3) I found mysql.exe in the directory of /usr/local/bin. Try the command of

./mysql -h 127.0.0.1

there appeared the error message:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'Jean' @'localhost' (using password:
No)

where 'Jean' is my user account for WIN/XP.

Can you tell me the reason why it does not work normally?
