New submission from Dave Fliger <plattecountydu...@yahoo.com>: I recently (in the last 5 days) downloaded and installed Python 2.6.x. Upon startup of this machine I noticed a Windows warning that "mysqld.exe could not start...". I really didn't pay attention to it until today since I had no plans to use MySQL or any other app that might use it.
I also use XAMPP, which does rely on MySQL. This morning when I started XAMPP, the MySQL server crashed on startup of XAMPP. I removed Python by uninstalling it, set XAMPP to start on startup and rebooted. Bingo!!!! No problem. Seems like the install process does not check for other applications using MySQL and appropriates the db for itself. Is this correct? If that is correct, then the install process needs to be altered. Is this an issue? I don't know. You tell me. ---------- components: Installation messages: 86231 nosy: plattecoducks severity: normal status: open title: MySQL crash on machine startup.... type: crash versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5806> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
