The php server runs great and is executing scripts when I go to http://localhost

but I cant seem to get the mySQL database working properply
I installed MyODBC-standard-3.51

but when I go to ODBC Data Source Adminstrator in Windows

you have a name and password set up on the mysql db to connect to?

You may want to read the manual about GRANT
and the section on adding

Also check to see if the mysql is started...check the Task Manager applications window --> look for mysqld

starting mysql

I just download a version from mySQL.com and it works perfectly .. I guess the one that is bundled in phpdev isnt as easy... thanks for your help
