Braveheartt Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 MySQL server version: 5.0 I'm just getting started with my new PHP book, and it requires me to install mySQL... Thing is this mySQL is a complete PAIN to install, it's far from easy or at least - obvious. So I've downloaded the installer and installed it. I used to configuration tool to configure options which I don't even know what they are for as no descriptions were present. Anyway all that done I try to start the server through a command line with "C:\MySQL\bin\mysql" that keeps on telling me "Error 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)". I've tried to start it with "NET START MySQL" that keeps saying "System error 3 has occurred The system cannot find the path specified". Note: I have installed it to C:\MySQL I'm trying to get it to run locally so I can crack on with PHP... Can someone help me get this all sorted and started please? Thanks...
