[issue5806] MySQL crash on machine startup....
New submission from Dave Fliger : 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 <http://bugs.python.org/issue5806> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Dave Fliger added the comment: Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure what the deal was, and sort of intuitively knew it wasn't the problem. I wouldn't have mentioned it with the exception that uninstalling solved the problem. That's a bit odd, don't you think?  Dave Fliger Webmaster Rogers Sporting Goods 1760 N.

David Murray added the comment: Python doesn't care about mysql. You can use a third party library to talk to mysql from python, but only if you install that third party library. Otherwise, python isn't even aware of whether or not mysql is installed. So whatever the problem is, it is very unlikely that it has anything to do with your python install. If your mysqld starts failing again after reinstalling python, then I'd suggest posting to python-list and see if the community can help you narrow down the problem. If for some bizarre reason it does turn out to be an issue with the python install, you can open a new ticket with more information, or reopen this one. -- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed type: crash -> ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5806> ___ -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13730/unnamed ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5806> ___<!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --> Thanks for the response.

Dave Fliger added the comment: True enough, my friend. I really didn't know if it had been reported before. If I go over the sequence of events tat I performed here on this machine, then my only conclusion was the installation of Python because everything worked prior to that. I know that if I can't give you the steps to reproduce, there is no problem. So I guess this is an alert. If someone else reports something similar, you may have an issue. My original post clearly said that I didn't know if it was an issue or not.  Dave Fliger Webmaster Rogers Sporting Goods 1760 N. Church Road Liberty, MO 64068 (816) 781 9026  From: ""Martin v.
