Were you ever able to get it to start? Have you made any configuration changes at all? Do you have the my.ini in the windows directory? does it have the correct basepath in the my.ini file? (pointing to where you installed mysql). You may want to try to start the service from services within windows itself or from the command line "net start mysql" and see if any of those work. There may also be errors reported in your event log or in the .err file in your mysql/data directory.

Hope this helps...just let us know if you are still having trouble.

hi, i hadn't explain good. I would installed a local server for made php pages. I installed Apache successfully and MySQL. Now, when I execute winmysqladmin doesn't work. It appears a message: "Fails to start the service". :wacko:

Do you know any manual for install and configure MySQL?? (if it can be in spanish better) :whistle:

THAAAAAAAAAAAANKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSS

Open the Run... dialog box (via start panel or pressing WIN+R), then type in:

services.msc

Hit ok. The Services window should open up, scroll down to MySQL, right click on it and select Start.

If that doesn't work you're in real trouble :)

Well, can you start it from the command line?

If you do, it will show the reason for the error. Just open up cmd.exe, navigate to where you installed mysql, then to the "bin" directory, and then typed mysqld. It'll say what reason it has for not working that way.

Did you set up a my.ini file?

MySQL MUST be installed directly under C:, if not you need to tell it where its installed. Also, try running mysqld-nt.exe in the bin directory (since you're running XP).

Mine's installed under d:\apache\mysql\ just fine :) It's all done via WinMySQLAdmin automaticallly if you use that. But I'm guessing something is missing...

What is the differance between mysqld-max-nt.exe and mysqld-nt.exe?

On one of my windows computers the service is using mysqld-nt.exe but the other is using mysqld-max-nt.exe. I installed them both the same way with "C:\Apache\mysql\bin\mysqld-max-nt.exe --install" :wacko:

Error 2: The system has not been able to find the specified file

You have to have a my.ini file in your c:\windows folder. If you run WinMySQLAdmin, it should create this file for you...

Wait a second. Have you installed MySQL at all? You need to download and install it from here: http://www.mysql.com/
