Connecting to and Disconnecting from the MySQL Server
Connecting to and Disconnecting from the MySQL Server
you should be able to connect like this:
shell> mysql -h host -u user -p
Enter password: ********
Enter password: ********
host and user represent the host name where your MySQL server is running and the user name of your MySQL account. Substitute appropriate values for your setup.
The ******** represents your password; enter it when mysql displays the Enter password: prompt.
If that works, you should see some introductory information followed by a mysql> prompt:
shell> mysql -h host -u user -p
The mysql> prompt tells you that mysql is ready for you to enter commands.
