    probably you need to remove 'skip-networking' from your config file
    (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/...kip-networking)

      where can i find the config file ? ^_^
      i have typed : mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'skip_networkin g';
      in the MySQL command line client to change the skip_networking variable from ON to OFF, but when i type my passwprd, the command window disappears

        Where your config file is depends on what OS you use.
        It's a file named 'my.cnf'

        On unix/linux it should be in /etc directory
