Accessing mySQL using EASYPHP DEVSERVER on command line

Question

The book I'm reading asked me to type

"\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\mysql\bin\mysql" -u root

in my command line, but my mysql executable directory, which I installed using with EASYPHP DEVSERVER, is in

D:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin

So I tried making sense of it (or at least that's what I thought) and tried typing

"\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin" -u root

in the command line. I pressed enter and I got an error that that's unrecognizable.

So how do I access my database through the command line? Did I make any installation errors? Are there misconceptions I have?

Perhaps it is trying to access the C:/ directory instead of D:/ ? — Praxis Ashelin

You are missing the last "mysql" in your command. The way you have your command at the moment, you are asking to run "bin" and not "mysql" — Bernd Linde

@DarkAshelin, but my Windows is running in D:/ and not C:/ drive. — Sello Nyama

@BerndLinde, I tried running mysql the way you suggested and it gave me the same error. — Sello Nyama

@SelloNyama Can you try "D:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin\mysql" -u root ? — Praxis Ashelin

Change "\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin" -u root to "D:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin" -u root

The writer assumed everything was on the same windows partition.

Also I advise you to add mysql to your PATH for convenience: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23841529/982075
