I'm trying to start up mysql through dos prompt.  When I enter a command
like c:\mysql\bin\mysqld or anything similar (any command in the bin
directory), it just waits there.  I can't Ctrl-C out of it.  I can end the
process to get out.  What's happening?

I'm trying to start up mysql through dos prompt. 
When I enter a 
command
like c:\mysql\bin\mysqld or anything similar (any
command in the bin
directory), it just waits there.  I can't Ctrl-C out
of it.  I can end 
the
process to get out.  What's happening?


You just started the server.  If you want to run it as
a service (I assume you have Windows NT or 2000), use
the --install option.

Now, you could open another command prompt window and
start mysql with, for example:

mysql --user=someguy --password=secret



Hope this helps.

Home or Pro?

I have no experience with WinXP Home, but with WinXP Pro you need to
installed MySQL as a service, then start the service. After that, the
console will start with c:\mysql\bin\mysql

Instructions for installing as a service are in the MySQL Manual.

Ah! That is clearly a metaphysical speculation, and like most
 metaphysical speculations has very little reference at all to
 the actual facts of real life, as we know them.
