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:

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...

If you have set a password then you need to use the ysntax like this mysql -u root -p I also tried this command, but I get the same error: #2003 - Can\'t connect to MySQL server on \'localhost\' (10061) I really don\'t know how to solve this problem, I\'m almost in a mood to re-install w2k...but I don\'t know if thats a solution...

The path is correct and the service is running without any errors...

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?
