Re: User and Privilege managment

Please:
1 Check that MySQL is running on address 127.0.0.1
2 Check that MySQL is reachable on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3 Check the user root has rights to connect to 127.0.0.1 from your address (MySQL rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines)
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for 127.0.0.1 connecting from the host address you're connecting from

For #1, try ...

cd /Applications/Ampps/mysql/bin
$ mysql.server restart

... or ...

alias mysqlstart='sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start'
alias mysqlstop='sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop'

What results did checks 2-4 yield?

Did you find or create my.cnf?

Have you tried starting the server with --skip-grant-tables ?
