Ok so here's the deal, I'm trying to check if mysql is working on my machine so I open up the dos command prompt, type cd c:\mysql\bin and everything's fine then it try to create a test database by typing mysqladmin create testDB, it try's to connect but it gives me an error message "Can't connect to mySQL server on 'localhost' <10061>' then it says check that mysqld is running on localhost and that the port is 3306 I tried to telnet to 3306 and of course iut's not running, so here's my question How do I get the mySQL server to start running on my machine..... ohh btw I'm on a w2k workstation. I know it's something that's probably simple, which I'm overlooking, but I could use some help figuring it out. The install went fine, I just need some help with starting mysql...please tia Rhasaun Campbell Web Consultant Urban Graphics 110 Camden St. Roselle Pk, NJ 07204 c. 908.531.9418 t.908.245.1161 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.urbangraphics.tv
