Re: MySQL problem

If you are using mysql shareware version, open amsprompt window and type cd c:\mysql\bin and enter then type mysqld~2.exe enter, then start mysql by doing mysql.exe. Otherwise type dir in mysql\bin and look out what version of mysqld you have the regulat one (mysqld) or opt. good luck Giro "Chris" <frizzy1994@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:3AD96DC3.10CE9956@hotmail.com... > I was trying to create a database for PHP using MySQL with the command > c:\mysql\bin>mysqladmin create database01 and I received the following > error message > "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) > Check that mysql is running on localhost and that the port is 3306. > You can check this by doing 'telnet localhost 3306'" > > The Apache server is running.
