I come here from this topic
Where user has exactly the same problem.
I have installed Winamp (Apache+Mysql). I moved my /data subfolders (backup) to mysql/data (installed folder). I originally had error that my port is in use, so I changed to 3307. The cause for this error could be freeze of mysqld-nt (not closed, stayed in memory)
- port is 3307
- data folder is in my.ini is set correctly
- client run results in close because mysql-nt doesnt run
- mysqld-nt Freezes console.
- cannot run console
- mysqld-nt is closed (manually)
I am Windows user. My Mysql is part of Wamp server and has no any mysql_install_db in bin folder. I don't use linux so I cannot use linux commands. Also I cannot run client bevazse server connection is not established so cannot type the command for client.
Please help.
