corrupshun Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Alright, so I'm a huge noobie that cuts and pastes to make things easier. I got WAMP server a few months back but WAMP would not work on my flash drive I removed the WAMP files, keeping php apache and mysql (and all the config files ) So I run apache, I assumed everything worked because I could get to localhost, see my index page and run php. Now that I have the need to run MySQL for where I am in teaching myself, it doesn't run. I clicked directly on MySQL.exe in the mysql bin folder It gave me this error code in cmd. ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) This does not run at all The reason I need to run MySQL portably is because I need it at school to show my teacher my work. It was freightfully embarassing when it did not work (made databases on home WAMP and copied to flash drive Not only does it not work when I have non-admin privlages, but even on my local computer it isn't working How can I make MySQL running? I thought apache automaticallly made it run? Please help, ANY and ALL help will be greatly appreciated If you need any more info just ask, I will refresh often -AUSTIN ALSO (if forgot this before) I did google this, found a link that said that fat32 don't work with mysql. formatted it to ntfs and it still don't work :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajivgonsalves Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 it just says your mysql server is not running install it using "mysqld --install" in the bin directory hopefully this will solve your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I do not think WAMP is setup to run off a thumb drive unless you do some major configuration as I believe it stores some registry entries etc. However that is what Xampp was made for. Take a look at that and see if you can get it to work for ya. EDIT: That is of course if Raj's simple solution did not fix your issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajivgonsalves Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 you could double click on mysqld.exe keep that window open and then run mysql.exe it might run without installing the service however I have never tried this stunt out (make me think I should now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupshun Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 it closes right when i open it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupshun Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oh shpidizzle I opened mysqld.exe and it stayed open It didn't stay open at me school why do you think this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 It's MySQL's console. Perhaps you can upload your project to some webhost with php and mysql? Then show it to your teacher on web? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajivgonsalves Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 mysqld is the service that runs your mysql server, your scripts should work with that windows open, the reason it might have not run in school because your login does not have right privileges not too sure depends on a lot of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then show it to your teacher on web? Well, that was my initial idea but I don't only want to use mysql to show it to my teacher I also want to be able to work on some random projects that I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 At home? Reinstall WampServer. You shouldnt've removed it in the first place. At school? Ask someone who's responsible for managing school computers (good luck convincing them!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
