I need the database up and running first.Īlthough I've used MySQL before, I can't say I have that much experience with it, and it had always been up and running already this is the first time I'm deploying it myself. Neither did I find any 'mysql' in the running services or process.Īt this point, it doesn't matter if the program runs or not. Running the commands "mysqld-nt" or "mysqld" didn't do anything, so I'm assuming there's another problem at work here. So I ran Command prompt as an administrator, went to the MySQL directory, and ran "mysql". "MySQL Error 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' "

I was expecting it to ask username and passwords and such, as was my experience with installing SQL Server and MySQL version 5 (and later), but it needed nothing from me.

batch file that reads an SQL file (to create the required tables and such), then run the program. I've been given the task of running a program that relies on a MySQL database, specifically, the 3.23.42 version.
