[pray4def]

my mysql istn green it is red. does that matter? if so how i get to green? and i get this error can anyone help me with this? i can get it running and to log but get that error

[kyushiro]

if mysql turns red just means that mysql REFUSE to start

possible reasons ( and basicly ONLY reason)

mysql is already running on the same port

be sure to check if mysql is not running as a service , if it is then shut it down (use google to search how)

be sure to check if your other programs are not installing mysql ( xamp , wamp , easy apache and so on)

as there can be only 1 mysql running at the same time

if that fails ( in rare cases and after manual editing stuff in the mysql directory ) then you just got corrupt files and need a fresh install of mysql

there is no other solution , as the green light just checks if mysql is running from the directly that you like to start it

hope this will help you..some advise from me if you really want to learn how to solve the problems my suggestion is try read all this thread eo section then bookmark that give benefit to u seriously it will help you alot in future

Open the folder called MYSQL
CLick on MYSQLDump
Wait for it to finish, 20-25 seconds usually.
Now click MYSQLADMIN
Wait for it to open, and its minimised to the system tray. It should now go green.

If it remains red, its not connecting to the Db.

Open windows folder.
Locate MY.INI
Delete it.
Repeat the MYSQLADMIN part.

At least thats how i do it.

Hope this helps
