NWR Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Evening all. Today I've purchased: Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache - All in One (Forth Edition). The book comes with a CD with software to install. The problem is I've tried to install MySQL as stated in the book but when I get to the final configuration step I get the following message: C:\Program Files (x86\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. Can anyone advise what the problem could be? I did have WAMP installed but I've removed it as I want to follow the instructions in the book.

joe92 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The W in WAMP stands for Windows and the L in LAMP stands for Linux. A LAMP setup will not run on a windows operating system and vice versa. Also, did you copy and paste that file path onto here? Because if so there should be a closing bracket after (x86. Hope this helps Joe Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249602-problems-with-mysql-5051a-installation/#findComment-1282114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
