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.

    • The Witcher 4 tech demo shows off the RPG in action on a base PS5 at 60FPS

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      The Witcher 4 tech demo shows off the RPG in action on a base PS5 at 60FPS by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games' The State of Unreal 2025 keynote happened today, giving a look at its latest improvements to the Unreal Engine, and other developments and partnerships that the Fortnite maker is involved in. The show kicked things off with a bang, giving fans a live on-stage presentation of The Witcher 4 alongside developer CD Projekt RED. Seen below, the tech demo of the hugely anticipated RPG features the new trilogy's protagonist, Ciri, as she explores Kovir, the new mainland that CD Projekt is letting players explore. Following a monster trail, Ciri and her horse Kelpie go through mountains and forests before reaching the town of Valdrest. Surprisingly, the demo is said to be running on a base PlayStation 5, and it even manages to stay at 60 frames per second despite the stunning visuals. The studio said that the technologies it is using will benefit all platforms that it is targeting for the RPG. The Witcher 4 is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 consoles, though a release date has not been revealed yet. "We started our partnership with Epic Games to push open-world game technology forward. To show this early look at the work we’ve been doing using Unreal Engine running at 60 FPS on PlayStation 5, is a significant milestone — and a testament of the great cooperation between our teams," said joint CEO of CD Projekt RED Michał Nowakowski. "But we're far from finished. I look forward to seeing more advancements and inspiring technology from this partnership as development of The Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine 5 continues." The demo showcases tech like Unreal Animation Framework, Nanite Foliage rendering, MetaHuman technology with Mass AI crowd scaling, and more from Epic Games' latest engine developments. Unreal Engine 5.6 is said to include many of these improvements, letting any developer use the tools on their games for better visuals and optimizations.

      Microsoft and security. 🤣 One day, I received a big bill from Microsoft. I checked the log, and the log (not Azure Premium) only lasted a few weeks, so I was unable to find any information about what happened. I checked the bill, and it showed me that somebody (no information) created a big virtual machine for many weeks, then finally deleted it. I contacted support, and they told me that I will get my money back. 8 months later, it never happened. However, the invoices show some weird movements. They indeed did the reverse, but only in the system, but my CC never got the money back. I had a fight with my bank, and my bank finally showed me records that Microsoft never tried to return my money. What happened, who hacked it, and how? Microsoft was unable to answer. My account had a DFA. Conclusion: I should have reported it to my CC.
