Hi everyone,
I've recently had to reformat my pc as it was working at a ridiculously slow rate. I've got it all up and running except for MySQL. I've tried to install XAMPP using the .exe method and get one problem, so I did a manual install and got a different problem...
If I use XAMPP then the local MySQL service runs for about 5 seconds and then crashes. Windows asks me to send an error report.
If I do a manual install and then start the service either through Windows XP or through the command prompt, MySQL crashes instantly but no error report is generated. If I test the MySQL server by running the following:
C:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow
Then I get this message:
c:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
I'm fairly new to all of this so any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
