Hi Ray,

I was breaking my head for the past two days because of this error. I was trying to set up both phpMyAdmin and Wordpress in my local system and was getting this error. I tried to change so many things and at last made it work after reading ur post through Google.

Thank you very much.

Excellent entry! This was so much more helpful that the 20000 other hits I got from google that didn’t help solve my problem!

Useful solution. I read the MySQL page just before coming here otherwise I’d be bowed down in effusive thank yous. It’s also a trap if you’re stuck developing in VC6 and are trying to bludgeon the MySQL++ library into your source code.
