Using the MySQL Server as Service To start/stop options: 1- net start mysql/net stop mysql 2- using the SCM (Service Control Manager) 3- using the WinMySQLAdmin When the server is running as service you can't to use the tool mysqladmin with the parameter shutdown Setting the MySQL environment Creating and editing either c:\my.cnf or c:\windir\my.ini, not both. Using the MySQL server at the DOS prompt To start/stop options mysqld --standalone --console/mysqladmin shutdown In the start you can use others parameters (see the manual) or the server should read the configuration file above mentioned too. Using the mysql.exe client tool mysql -u user_name -p Enter password: the_password_for_the_user_name If you have a fresh install, the server permits the mysql client connection without any user and his password.
