I don't think this makes sense either, but you will see what I mean: FOR MY ADMIN ACCOUNT C:\>netstat -a -p tcp

This is not the case here. In fact, once I log off admin and onto the other accounts the winmysqladmin manager (which I put in startup for all users) asks if I want to install the service!!! When I click "OK" it says "install failed" and I actually have to shut down the tool in order to log off (or else the system hangs). My web site can connect to the server using PHP scripts to grab data with no problems when the admin account is running, but as soon as I log off and on to another account the dynamic part of the site dies. Again, when I was on my admin account I installed the MySQL service from the command prompt using: mysqld-nt --install and the result was "service has been installed" (paraphrasing). I have uninstalled MySQL completely and reinstalled only to run into the same problem. I'm using the 3.23.49 binary package. -Kirk -----Original Message----- From: Charles Quesenberry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:25 AM To: Kirk Brannan Babb Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Problems starting MySQL as a Service for all users Kirk, I am somewhat confused by your question. I must misunderstand what it is that you are trying to ask, because what it appears that you are asking makes no sense. Once MySQL was installed as a service, why does it matter which account starts it? Are you not the admin on the box? Are you trying to start multiple instances of the MySQL service? Logging off of the admin account will not stop a service on a Windows 2000 box. Even though you "log off the admin account", MySQL should still be running. Or, when you say "started" do you mean "connect to the running server"? What is the output of the following command on the server running MySQL? netstat -a -p tcp Respectfully, Charles Q.
