unable to start MySQL

Hi,

I have just installed, PHP, Apache, on my WinXP Pro machine. I then went to install MySQL 4.1.7, which appeared to go well...Apart from when I got to execute, and the services wouldn't start...so looking on this forum I followed someone’s solution. I re installed...services started when i selected execute...

But when I went into MySQL folder and opened up winmysqladmin, right clicked on the traffic light in my toolbar, the light was red, and selected start NT, and start services...the response I got was unable to start try again in 30 seconds...

I then went back to reconfigure, and once again i got to execute, and services wouldn’t start...

Don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but in the books and help pages I have got, they all mention a log on page, to enter username and password, I have not seen this.

Can anyone help? I am very confused by all this; I just want to learn PHP for some database web design....

Re: unable to start MySQL

You need to access the error logs. I don't use XP so I can't tell you exactly where it is, but you want to find what the error is (be it when the app crashes or if it fails to start). If that doesn't answer your question, put the log message on here maybe we can help.

Re: unable to start MySQL

I have downloaded mysql-4.0.23-win but when I attempt to execute the Setup, I get the following error message:

16 Bit Windows Subsystem
C:Windows/system32/autoexecute/.nt. The system file is not suitabke for running MS-DOS andMicrosoft Windows applications. Choose "Close" to terminate the appilication.

What am I doing wrong I am a new programmer and I wish to learn how to work with mysql and php I have installed apache and it works fine but I hit a snag with mysql.

Please someone tell me what I am doing worng here. by the way I am installing onto my laptop.
