You don't have any [mysqld] group for the other server, I take it? But that configuration is odd. It appears to apply to a 4.0.14 installation, yet you state that you're using it for your 4.1 installation. What installation directories are you now using for your two MySQL versions? (Sorry for the confusion, the my.cnf file had two parts to it, I only copied the part about mysqld2, didn't realize the first one was relevant. Here is the entire file (I copied the previous one from the manual, but I did actually run it with the correct directory names): # options for default service (MySql) [mysqld] basedir = C:/mysql port = 3306 enable-named-pipe socket = mypipe1 #options for default service (mysqld2) (mysqld2) basedir = c:\4.1 Alpha\mysql port = 3307 enable-named-pipe socket = mypipe2 It didn't seem to understand the line "enable-named-pipe" though as when I tried running the following files: my-opts1.cnf: [mysqld] basedir = C:/mysql port = 3306 enable named-pipe socket = mypipe1 my-opts2.cnf: [mysqld2] basedir = c:\4.1 Alpha\mysql port = 3307 enable-named-pipe socket = mypipe2 With these commands: mysqld --defaults-file=C:\my-opts1.cnf response: mysqld: ERROR: unknown option '--enable-named-pipe' mysqld-max --defaults-file=C:\my-opts2.cnf response: yesterday it gave a similar one to the above, though when I do it now it responds: 030723 15:09:02 Error message file 'C:\mysql\share\english\errmsg.sys' had only 237 error messages, but it should contain at least 255 error messages. Check that the above file is the right version for this program! 030723 15:09:02 when I invoke it from the folder of the old version. and: mysqld-max: Can't change dir to 'C:\4.1 Alpha\mysql\data\' (Errcode:2) 030723 15:15:06 Aborting 030723 15:15:06 mysqld-max: Shutdown Complete again per instructions from the manual.

Okay, that looks good. When you open the Services Manager, I assume it shows lines for services named "MySQL" and "mysqld2" and that they both have a status showing them to be running? (Sorry, the "Services Manager"? I'm not sure what that is.) > >But when I attempt to invoke MySQL the response is: "ERROR 2003: Can't >connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" Okay. What was the command you used here? (just the same as before: "mysql" or "mysql -h localhost -u root" What happens if you use this command: mysql -h localhost -P 3308 or this one: mysql -h . -S mypipe2 (both give the following response: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061), and I tried several Ports, 3308, 3307, 3306, and 3309 in this order) > >(BTW.

The Services Manager will show what the service names are. You may want to shut them down, remove them, and then start over. It may be that the presence of existing services is what's messing things up. (How do I invoke the "Services Manager"?) To stop the services (assuming service names of svc-name-1 and svc-name-2): net stop svc-name-1 net stop svc-name-2 To remove them: mysqld --remove svc-name-1 mysqld --remove svc-name-2 Then start from the beginning, using the mysqld --install instructions in the manual. (So I don't have to "Uninstall" them in windows since they are now services? Or does this have the same effect?) > >Better detail? Thanks for not giving up on me! Yes, much better detail.
