whmeeske Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I\'m running Apache2 and PHP4 on a Windows 2000 PC. This configuration works quite well, I can run php testscripts. So far so good. Now I want to use MySQL on this system and there appears a problem I can\'t solve. I installed MySQL 4.0.16 and that appears to be OK. But if I give a command in the cmd-shell (for example \'mysqlshow\') or if I try to start phpMyAdmin in IE (http://localhost/phpmyadmin) I get the following error: #2003 - Can\'t connect to MySQL server on \'localhost\' (10061) When I start winmysqladmin I get a green traffic-light, so it seems that the MySQL-service runs OK. But on the environment-tab there\'s no server-info displayed, neither on the server-tab. I don\'t understand this. I re-installed the whole package again, but that wasn\'t the solution. I get a headache of this matter an it drives me a little crazy. Is there anyone around who has the same experience and has (hopefully) a solution?

shivabharat Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Run these commands in the command prompt c:mysqlbinmysqladmin -u root shutdown c:mysqlbinmysqld-nt --remove c:mysqlbinmysqld-nt --install Once this is done go to the service and check if your mysql service is started and if not start it and try to connect .

I tried all this (and the items above) on another PC with w2k and there it works without any errors. So it seems that there\'s somewhere a problem on my own w2k PC, but I don\'t know how to find it...

whmeeske Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 I reinstalled Windows 2000 on the partition I use for my experiments. Then I reinstalled step-by-step Apache2, PHP4, MySQL4 and phpMyAdmin. I\'ve tested it heavily and now it seems to keep working. Now I have a platform to learn more about PHP and MySQL. Thanx for the help :wink: Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/1334-problem-running-mysql/#findComment-4477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
