FireDevil Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 OK, I'm a bit confused about my MySQL thingy. ??? I got SAM2 broadcaster which installs the MySQL and I've been using it for awhile. Then all of a sudden I can't open my broadcaster because theres something wrong with the MySQL. the error code thingy says: "Unable to connect to MySQL. Please make sure that MySQL is installed AND running. Also make sure you are using the correct MySQL login information." I have never changed anything or even looked at the MySQL stuff. I've tried getting rid of all the SAM2 files and the MySQL files and then reinstalling them, but it doesn't work. Everytime I install it it says: "> MySQL install started... > MySQL was successfully installed at C:\mysql\ > Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" I have no idea why it won't connect when I haven't changed anything and it used to work fine. I am very confused and could use some help so that I can continue to DJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hrmmm.... If you try running the mysql binary, what does it say? Go to cmd (Start->Accessories->Command Line or Win Logo + R, type in CMD, and hit enter) type the following: cd c:/mysql/bin mysqld And see if it says a more detailed error message.

FireDevil Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think i did what u said right, i used the command prompt. When i typed in: cd c:/mysql/bin its didnt do anything, and when i typed in mysqld it said that something like, there is no internal or external command named mysqld. Anything else you need me to do? Hope I even did THAT right. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It didn't do anything? What error did it say? Where is MySQL installed? You need to cd to where ever MySQL is installed and then the folder bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 well, my computer is a little weird. It has a C: drive and G: drive, but the G: drive is where all the normal C: drive stuff is (program files etc.) So, would it help if I the mysql was installed in the G: drive and not the C: drive? Also, when I used the command prompt thing, in front of where I could type it was saying <G:\Documents and Settings\joshua> and then i typed in the mysql stuff. I dont know how to change the thing from my documents to something else, if that even makes a difference. And I typed the mysql/bin and the mysqld in different lines so i dont know if that made a difference either. The first one (just the c:/mysql/bin) nothing poped up or seemed to do anything, and for the second one (just the mysqld) it said that "'mysqld' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ??? ???

corbin Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Uh.... Where is mysqld.exe on your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 its in c:\mysql\bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hrmmm try this in cmd: C: cd \mysql\bin mysqld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 I think I might be doing something wrong because nothing is happening still. ??? I'm using the command prompt and then entering the stuff and pressing enter, then it went to havin the documents and settings in the front, to the c:\mysql\bin the front where documents and setting was. and then i typed in mysqld and nothing happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Ok..... Try just typing in "C:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well I vote you give up on installing this yourself and just use WAMP for your installation then just copy the data files from mysql to the new mysql. But that is my vote. BTW, I <3 my G drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 well, i tried the command thing but still nothing. You want me to just open the mysqld.exe file to get that little command thing? Also, its not a problem of installation its a problem with the program cuz it used to work fine, but for some reason it all of a sudden stoped connecting or whatever.

corbin Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 When ever you try to run mysqld, if there's an error starting it, it will tell you. If there's not an error starting it, your password managed to change itsself or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 the mysqld.exe thing seems to star fine. And I never changed the mysql settings at all, I left them at default. so what would the default ones be? Also, I knw it must be mysql cuz i just installed the sam4 trial with firebird ( since mysql doesnt work) and the program runs fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Can you connect to port 3306 on your computer? Does a black box just popup and close? That's why you need to go at it through cmd. If the program exits, it will just close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 The program stays open, but I cant type anything in it for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Because it wouldn't make sense to type something into the console window of the mysql dameon. So... does it say anything that resembles an error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 That wierd. It seemed to be working fine the other day, but now when I try to open the mysqld.exe the window closes itself before I can see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Error logs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 How do I check error logs? (yes I am a noob at this stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I believe it's a .err file in the mysql directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I used the search thing and typed in: .err and nothing poped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 See here -- did you move it in the conf file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDevil Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I never moved anything at all, I kept it all when it was installed at. I looked around my C: drive and found like a notepad file named: mysqlbug, and another named: dbg_log Other than that theres not really anything that looks like it would tell me an error or something. (the dbg_log wasnt in the mysql folder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well, it has to be somehwere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
