silentshadow Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and have IIS7 and PHP 5.2.6 installed. I am trying to install MySQL 5.0.51b. I get all through the setup just fine when I get to the end however I hit 'execute' and I get an error that the service can not be started. I have tried removing everything and starting from scratch and still I get the same message. Any suggestions?

wildteen88 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Run the installer with administrator privileges. Ensure that nothing is running on port 3306 (this is the default port MySQL runs on).

bob eff Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Run the install program as you normally would and then add the service manually because there is some problem with MySQL and Vista. Once you run the sc command below it works fine. use the sc create command in a dos window to add the service: sc create MySQL start= auto DisplayName= MySQL binPath= c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.1\bin\mysqld.exe then if you need to alter any parameters, use the administrative tools/services utility Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106400-installing-mysql-on-windows-vista-ultimate/#findComment-560237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
