MYSQL Problems on Windows 2000 Asvanced Server


Question

Hi,

I have recently installed MYSQL on my windows 2000 server box, and although I can install the service using the MSI installer, and I am able to start the service, I am unable to connect to it.

I am using PHPmyADMIN to connect to the database, and I have never had a problem before....just on windows 2000.

I have recieving the error message:

"#2003 Cannot connect to mysql server on 'localhost' (10061)"

Any ideas would be helpful,

Regards

is the little stoplight icon showing up in your systray?

That's WinMySQLAdmin, not the server. You don't need that program running to run MySQL (so you can stop usnig it now ;) )

MySQL's installer doesn't install the service for you, so have you had it install itself as a service? You acn use the stoplight program (in mysql\bin\) or use the command line to install it. Either way would get it installed. You also have to set up my.ini, which should be in your c:\windows\ directory, with the correct base_dir and data_dir (I think those are the ones) values.

    • So, do nothing basically, as long as you deploy Windows Updates? Pretty much yeah. Some Linux distros distribute update the secureboot certs as well, assuming you do use SecureBoot.
    • On one hand, YouTube videos are filled with so much fillers and the Youtubers intentionally speak slowly to increase video time and "engagement" metrics. On the other, Google's asking you to not stay on their site for longer. That's a win-win for viewers. So, I think it'll be axed or de-emphasised in the near future.

    • Ubuntu gets second-ever snapshot release for Questing Quokka by Paul Hill Canonical has announced the release of Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka Snapshot 2, a monthly development build that gives testers and developers a base from which to work on software for the upcoming release. Snapshot 1 was released at the end of May and Snapshot 3 is scheduled for July 31. Notably, the release date of Snapshot 2 and 3 have moved since last month. The Snapshot 2 update is available for various Ubuntu spins, such as Kubuntu and Lubuntu. To download, head to Ubuntu CD Image and go to the link for the version you want, such as ubuntu/. Once you’ve picked, go to releases/ > 25.10/ > snapshot-2/ and download the appropriate image for your computer - most people will want ‘64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image’. The announcement mentions that these snapshot builds are not production ready, so you should not be installing them on a machine you use to do your work and daily computing. Canonical said that these builds should be seen as “throwaway artifacts”, whatever that means. If you’re an Ubuntu developer, you should submit your changes in the Ubuntu archive by July 28 to see it in the third snapshot. If you make any changes, Canonical asks you to update the Release Notes with the updates that you have worked on, so everyone knows what changed. Speaking of release notes, Canonical has been updating them incrementally. So far, we know that GNOME 48 is being used alongside the Linux 6.14 kernel. The use of GNOME 48 means that Ubuntu 25.10 only supports Wayland sessions as X.org has finally been dropped. Wayland has been used for a while on Ubuntu, so most people shouldn't have any issues as a result of the switchover. If you want to try out Ubuntu 25.10 Snapshot 2, you can find the download links over on the Ubuntu website. Just remember, these are not intended to be used on production machines!
