Hi Installed Mysql (from mysql-3.23.51-win.zip) to c:\mysql on my pc (running Windows XP Professional) Started Apache (1.3.20) that I got with mod_perl . runs ok (can do perl scripts on it ok) Tried to execute c:\mysql\bin>mysqld (as in the manual) after about 5 seconds, comes back with normal prompt i.e. c:\mysql\bin> but any mysql command entered, i.e. mysql test is responded with: ERROR 2003:Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘localhost’ (10061) I’ve obviously missed something basic, please help Thanks in advance Glyn --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
