0 Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 6, 2003 can you run mysqlld-nt from the command line? if you run it manually, it'll show the errors that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JimM17 Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 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.

0 th3j0ker Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 b0se Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 10, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 10, 2003 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?

0 NeoMayhem Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Put the my.ini file in the windows folder ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 b0se Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 10, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 10, 2003 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NeoMayhem Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 th3j0ker Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Perdon por tardar en contestar. How I configure my.ini?? It show a message error when i start: "Error 2: El sistema no ha podido hallar el archivo especificado" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 12, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 12, 2003 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 th3j0ker Posted April 12, 2003 Author Share Posted April 12, 2003 Yeah, i installed MySQL complete and i configured my.ini but doesn't work. I think that i'll install Linux Red Hat, Windows XP is a ****... GRACIAS A TODOS DE TODAS FORMAS ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
