JimM17 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 mysql runs as a service no? it should be installed after you install the program. is there by any chance a copy of it already running? check your services as well to see if it has been entered in there.

JimM17 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Ok so it is listed in the services. Can you click in the service and tell it to start that way? Does it start? If not, you should be able to check the event log to see any errors it may be outputting. Let me know about that and we'll go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
