Can't start MySQL

2003-09-01 Thread Bob Demers
I've clearly done something worng but, novice that I am, I'm at a dead end
to figuring out just where I've gone astray.  I've scoured the help files
and faqs locally and online but can't seem to find anything I recognize as
relevant.  Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

Have installed (actually twice) MySQL-PHP-Apache from CD included with Sams
Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache in 24 Hours on Windows 98.  Machine:
Compaq Presario 5610, 192MBram

Problem:#1  When I attempt to start Apache I get The system cannot find the
file specified What file would that be? Service Status is dev4_423
(whatever that means).

Problem #2: When clicking on MySQL stoplight icon in startup I get the MySql
admin window AND a blank DOS window (MySqld)the cursor slows to a
useless crawl and properties shows only an entry in Cmd Line =
c:\windows\system\conagent.exe. Cursor doesn't return to normal speed until
I close the MSDOS window, which also closes MySQL.

Haven't got far enough along to do anything about configuring PHP.

Herewith is the ERROR LOG FROM \apache group\apache2\logs per Marty's
suggestion.

Special note: The domain name and server name default to that of my ISP.
Can't understand why that would be since the installation is entirely local.

ERROR LOG

I would start to look in
\Apache Group\Apache2\logs
and tell us what error.log says
