copied!<p>Look in the directory where you installed MySQL, probably something like <code>C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0</code>. Look in the my.ini file. Check the server section. It will look something like this:</p> <pre><code># SERVER SECTION # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # # The following options will be read by the MySQL Server. Make sure that # you have installed the server correctly (see above) so it reads this # file. # [mysqld] # The TCP/IP Port the MySQL Server will listen on port=3306 </code></pre> <p>What's the port number you are using? Okay, go to the command line and run mysql:</p> <pre><code>C:\Users\foobar>mysql --port=3306 --user=root --password Enter password: ******** Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 Server version: 5.0.51b-community-nt MySQL Community Edition (GPL) Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> use mysql; Database changed mysql> show tables; +---------------------------+ | Tables_in_mysql | +---------------------------+ | columns_priv | | db | | func | | help_category | | help_keyword | | help_relation | | help_topic | | host | | proc | | procs_priv | | tables_priv | | time_zone | | time_zone_leap_second | | time_zone_name | | time_zone_transition | | time_zone_transition_type | | user | | user_info | +---------------------------+ 18 rows in set (0.00 sec) </code></pre> <p>Okay, then you can use mysql. Go into your Django local_settings.py and check that MySQL is set up correctly:</p> <pre><code>DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' DATABASE_NAME = 'whatever' DATABASE_USER = '<special app user>' DATABASE_PASSWORD = '<password for user>' DATABASE_HOST = '<ip address or host name of server>' DATABASE_PORT = '3306' </code></pre> <p>If you did all these things from the command line, then this Django setup will work.</p>
