Re: Installation problems with MySQL

Here's the deal: mysqld, the database server, has to be running and sitting there waiting for mysql, the client, to be able to talk to it. Before you can use any of the other mysql things, you *MUST* run mysqld (or safe_mysqld). So, start up an extra DOS Windows, and run mysqld. It will start up, and then just sit there. It's not hung. It's supposed to do that. It's now a database server waiting for somebody in another DOS window to do something interesting to talk to it, like mysql. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
