I can successfully connect to MySQL from a DOS prompt, but when I try to connect from cygwin, it just hangs.
$/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/MySQL/MySQL\ Server\ 5.1/bin/mysql -u root -p What’s wrong?
Assuming that you have a native Windows build of MySQL, there is a terminal emulation incompatibility between
DOS(command prompt) windows andbash. The prompt formysqlisn’t showing up.To confirm this, type a command and return – it will probably work, but the prompt and the echo of the command (what you’re typing) is getting lost.
There may be a workaround in either the
CYGWINsytem properties or inbash, but I’ve never taken the time to work this one out.
