MySQL as a Service

[tlchost]

If I checkoff service for mysql, the lower window shows that it starts, but it is not running. What do I need to do to have it run as a service? Apache is running as a service.

thanks

Go to
start>Run...
type
sc delete mysql
click
OK

Go to the XAMPP Control Panel and make sure MySQL is Stopped.
Now try and start the service again by placing a tick in the Svc box next to MySQL.
Click OK to install the service in the pop up message box.
Now click on Start next to MySQL
Do not click on the Admin... button or all hell will break loose.

See if that helps.

Nope....the box says it;s started, but isn't running

I saw this when I issued the sc command

WARNING...

This error occurred because SpeedCache was n
