I need to upload a very large mysql database to my local setup using EasyPHP. I know how to use mysql but I've only used it on remote hosts. For some reason I cannot connect to the localhost. I'm running the mysql command from a dos prompt in the mysql/bin directory. It fails with "Can't connect to mysql server on localhost." Can someone please explain how I execute this so that it will work?

Do you have phpmyadmin installed?

Since you're running on localhost I'd recommend a console based gui rather than the web based PHPMyAdmin. A couple that I use frequently are SQLYog, and MySQL Administrator / MySQL Query Browser.

Note that MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser are separate links to separate programs that are to be used in conjunction with each other.

Yes. The size of the DB is 17 MB so I can't use phpmyadmin due to it timing our.

I don't think that makes a difference in this case. I'm trying to use the shell program mysql. It doesn't have anything to do with phpmyadmin, as far as I know. The problem seems to be that I am not executing it from the proper place or I don't have some setting correct since it cannot connect to the host.
