MySQL XP

    Hello everybody,

    I tried (without sucess) several times over the weekend to install MySQL (server + client 5) on my XP Home box. I dont have a firewall running. I tried this morning on my XP Pro box and works first time.

    One thing I noticed about XP Home - Why cant i telnet to localhost 80 ? (apache is running) whereas I can on XP Pro

    Has anybody managed to install MySQL on their XP Home box?

    I suspect this is the problem

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Interesting. I know there are certain restrictions on XP home with regards to the amount of concurrent connections, but you shouldn't really have any issues.

    The windows firewall isn't running is it?

    No, turned off everything, I can see the daemon listening on 3306 but cant telnet t o it, I can even connect using Firefox to 3306 (gives an app/octet stream file).

    I did see this on another forum:

    "no , you seem to have it right , the setup script tries to access the mysql server a second or less after it starts it so if it got blocked or manual interaction was required most likely the script tried to connect to the server before it got running

    in effect the mysql password was not changed from null to the global pass , but you have manually done that with phpmyadmin so everything is ok"

    which may work, set the root password with phpmyadmin and restart, very strang though

    right I managed to get it installed, as suggested in some other forums. I can only connect to it using external apps like phpmyadmin to admin the dbs. I cant connect via the command line. This is very odd....
