I double-clicked mysql_start in the V:XAMPP to start MySQL. In the window that came up it said:
Please wait ....
MySQL is starting with mysql\bin\mycnf <console>
080327 11:26:26 [Note] mysql\bin\mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '5.0.51a' socket: '' port : 3306 Source distribution
I don't get a command line prompt so that I can enter MySQL commands.
I am using a networked VISTA OS.
Is there any solution for this?
