I installed mySQL 5.7 and 8.0 on my pc, the first day it worked fine, but after a few days without using it, it just stopped working. The problem is I try to start the SQL server 8.0 in services in windows configuration and this warning appears. error message The mySQL 5.7 starts fine through services. I have tried mysqld --install and mysqld --initialize. When I run the second command this error appears:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin>mysqld --initialize

Could someone help me resolve this issue? I don't know what to do and I can't find nothing on the internet besides the mysqld --initialize solution. edit 1: I have started the cmd as administrator but it doesn't work.

The question associated with my problem has nothing in common, I can't even start the mySQL server and that's my problem.

  • Pro Tip - If you are doing this in mysqld ... you are doing it the hard/longer way in a world where MySQL Workbench exists and is free to use ... --> download here (nearly all main OS types) https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ – easleyfixed Mar 07 '23 at 19:35
  • A good example would be trying to do Spreadsheet work in MS Word .. its possible, but its more time intensive and ignores some of the tools that Excel has to assist you. Some people like DBeaver and some others, but so far I've had great success with Workbench personally, hope this helps you. – easleyfixed Mar 07 '23 at 19:37
