Ajesh, This looks like a DNS issue to me. Can you ping mykoha.org? If not

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have dropped the idea of using koha2.2.9 on windows. I am currently trying to install koha3.2.6(which I got on unzipping koha-latest.tar.gz - a few days back). I am installing it on Ubuntu OS and hence following the installation steps mentioned at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu But I am facing issue at the below mySql step 7 ************************************************************************* maxenna@maxenna-rfid:~$ mysqladmin -uroot -ppassword create kohadata mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' maxenna@maxenna-rfid:~$ mysql -uroot -ppassword ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) ************************************************************************* Searched on web and saw that quite many people has this error, but I could not find a solution for the same. I also tried to give root privileges using "sudo -i", but still getting the same error. *********************************************************************** root@maxenna-rfid:~# mysql -uroot -ppassword ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) *********************************************************************** Could somebody suggest a way to get past this error. Regards Ajesh then

you probably don't have this name pointing to the IP address of the server. However, I would encourage you to abandon the idea of using Koha 2.2.9 on Windows, and install the latest stable release on Linux (or wait a few days and install version 3.4 when it is released). I don't believe the 2.2.x branch is being updated in any way. To keep up with bug fixes and enhancements, you really want to be on the version the Koha community is contributing to. If this is a test box you are setting up then you could download the latest stable release now - version 3.2.7 available at http://download.koha-community.org/ , then update to the 3.4 release later after you are comfortable with Koha on Linux.
