Hi, I just installed MySQL on my WinXP box and not sure what's going on. The server starts (or so it says it does) but I get an error saying I can't connect to localhost. Not sure what else to say. I have included some info below (note that I changed the port to 3308 in my.ini as Linux Mysql is using 3306 - although using 3306 does nothing for Windows). A scan of my Windows machine shows that neither of these ports are open. I am also behind a Linksys router and have forwarding directed to Windows on port 3308. Any info is appreciated.
I have done some searches on this error and have not come up with anything that works..... TIA D:\Language\MySQL 3.23\bin>net start mysql The MySql service is starting. The MySql service was started successfully. D:\Language\MySQL 3.23\bin>mysqladmin create dbtest 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' D:\Language\MySQL 3.23\bin>mysql ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) [mysqld] basedir=D:/Language/MySQL 3.23 #bind-address=192.168.1.100 datadir=D:/Language/MySQL 3.23/data #language=D:/Language/MySQL 3.23/share/your language directory #slow query log#= #tmpdir#= port=3308 #set-variable=key_buffer=16M [WinMySQLadmin] Server=D:/Language/MySQL 3.23/bin/mysqld-nt.exe user=xxxxxxxxxxx password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QueryInterval=10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
