I just installed MySQL-3.23/mysql-3.23.49-win.zip from www.mysql.com Then opened it.
But I still could not run mysql..it looks like it could not find the server. Where is the remote server? Anyway, see below how I was struggling.. C:\mysql>cd\mysql\bin C:\mysql\bin>mysqladmin ping ======================================== mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)' Check that mysqld is running on localhost and that the port is 3306. You can check this by doing 'telnet localhost 3306' ================================== C:\mysql\bin>mysql ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) ======================================== C:\mysql\bin>mysql -root ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) C:\mysql\bin>mysqlshow mysqlshow: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) Alan
