MySQL isn't working!

**Ryan** · Jul 14th, 2003, 11:10 PM

Okay, so I have apache and php installed, and I wanted to install MySQL. I followed filburt1's tutorial, but when I try to access MySQL i get this:

C:\mysql\bin>mysql
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Uh.. how do I fix that?

You don't need Apache to use MySQL...did you install the MySQL service successfully?

did you run mysql for the first time? (either by clicking on mysql/winmysqladmin or by running it from the cmd prompt.)

**Ryan** · Jul 15th, 2003, 04:35 PM

It said the service was installed successfully.

And I did run MySQL for the first time.

Do you have a software firewall that's blocking it. If the server is running with the default settings, then that's really the only possible explaination.

I don't think so... I have a router but I forwarded the port to my computer.

what environment are you running under? If you're running under W2K/XP are the ports open through the built-in firewall??

XP, built in firewall isn't enabled.
