Re: Can't connect to DB - error 1045

[Joe Blow]

Just started working with Connector/C++ on Win32 and i'm having the exact same problem. went so far as uninstalling everything MySql related, then reinstalling several things:

mysql-5.1.43-win32.msi
mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.6-win32.msi
mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-win32.msi
mysql-connector-c++-1.0.5-win32.msi

The application i was writing was throwing HY000 2006 exceptions when trying to execute a CREATE TABLE statement so i decided to test the sample code from the MySql website. It does what Chris said - gets the driver instance then tries to create a connection - but it always seems to fail with the Access Denied exception.

DRIVING ME CRAZY

Which libmysql.dll should be used in this case? There is one in the Server 5.1 bin folder and one in the Connector/C folder? They are different sizes. I tried both and got same result.

Please help.

Thanks a lot,

Joe
