Hello,

1. To verify if mysql is running or not, you could simply right click on the task bar and choose "Start Task Manager".... click on the button to show all tasks and check to see if mysql is shown in the list of running programs.

2. If it is, it is running....
next verify the port it is runniing on by checking your "my.ini" file... by default it is 3306. While you are in this file... check to be sure the line "skip-networking" is commented out with a "#" sign... ie.... #skip-networking otherwise mysql will not listen on any port and will expect a pipe instead.

3. once you verify it is running, you know the port it is listening on, etc.. you should be good to go.

4. You can open a command prompt window... change to the "Bin" directory of mysql.... if you haven't yet set a root password you could try connecting using the command...
mysql -uroot

if you have set a root password you will need to use....
mysql -uroot -p

When prompted for password simply enter your root password.....

Once you have logged in... and have a mysql prompt showing... you can simply enter "exit" and hit enter to disconnect.

Hope this helps.

The MySQL service is running, I've verified it in the services list. But if
I try connecting to "telnet localhost 3306" or "telnet 127.0.0.1 3306" I get
an error: "Could not open a connection to the host on port 3306, connect
failed" which seems to imply the server isn't running. I get the same error
with telnet whether the firewall (Outpost) is off, on, in auto-rules
creation mode, or completely uninstalled.
