I have installed the necessary MySQL files onto the hard drive (under the folders inetpub --> wwwroot --> mysql. Next, I set up a cnf file and called it my.cnf with the path "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysql" in it.
Then, using the command prompt, I keyed in the path to the mysql directory and keyed in mysql.exe. The error I get is: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) I've tried this with my firewall (giving permission to MySQL and without it. Both have resulted in the same error message. Any ideas? -- Best regards, Curt Kliewer ************************************************************** ************************************************************** Sol Interactive Development Applications Programmer/Analyst Internet Solutions/Server-Side Programmer ************************************************************** ************************************************************** Contact Information: ICQ: 1835597 MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.sol-interactive.com ************************************************************** ************************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: G r e g L a w r i e To: Curt Kliewer ; MySQL List Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 1:04 PM Subject: RE: running MySQL on WinXP Haven't tried it myself, but can't see why it shouldn't.
