Hi All:
I am trying to run mysql in a Windows XP environment. I downloaded the binary and installation went smoothly. What I am expecting is that if I have winmysqladmin in my startup it should launch and I should be able to connect using the mysql control centre as my client. So far no joy. Unfortunately the error message conveys no useful information as to where my problem lies. I am presuming something in the configuration of the server or clients is incorrect but I have no idea of what it is. My.ini is: #This File was made using the WinMySQLAdmin 1.4 Tool #7/11/2003 9:45:28 AM #Uncomment or Add only the keys that you know how works. #Read the MySQL Manual for instructions [mysqld] basedir=C:/mysql #bind-address=24.239.132.16 datadir=C:/mysql/data #language=C:/mysql/share/your language directory #slow query log#= #tmpdir#= #port=3306 #set-variable=key_buffer=16M [WinMySQLadmin] Server=C:/mysql/bin/mysqld.exe user=root password=******** In the cc I have hostname as localhost. I do note that my environment details as displayed in the admin program have details that I do not appear to be able to modify (e.g. an IP address.) If I try and match these I find the client wants to go out to the internet to access the server. What should these details be. Help!
