I am in the process of trying to install MySQL on my computer to run locally for testing with php. I intend to use IIS rather than Apache. I receved a message that my service was sucessfully installed and I can start and stop the service without problems but when I try to run "mysqlshow" from the command line (as instructed in my book to test whether mysql is working), I receive this error:
"mysqlshow: Cannot connect to mySQL server on 'localhost' <10061>"
Is there something else I need to set in IIS for this to work.
I have tried this install before and failed b/c I kept going so I would prefer not to proceed with my php install until I know this is working.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you are running the mysql daemon at that time? In that case you should have a process that is bound to port 3306
Code: Select all
C:\Documents and Settings\timvw>net start mysql
De MySQL-service is gestart.
C:\Documents and Settings\timvw>netstat -a
Actieve verbindingen
Proto Lokaal adres Extern adres Status
TCP thuis:3306 thuis.workgroup:0 Bezig met luisteren-
