MySQL not working after reboot

Hello,

I just installed MySQL 4.0.18 on my Win2K computer. Once it installed, I
ran the WinMySQLAdmin program and everything worked fine. The little green
light was on, and I could connect to my databases.

However, as soon as I restarted my computer, the green light changed to a
red light, and since then I've been unable to connect to my databases. When
I open WinMySQLAdmin, the "Server" group box on the Environment page is
completely empty (it used to have lots of server information in it).

How can I remedy this situation??

Thanks in advance,

Duncan Jones

Is the mysql server running? If not, start it.


Therein lies the problem: the server always shuts itself down as soon as I
start it.

The following is a list of what I attempted just now when I booted up:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Windows boots up ......... WinMySQLAdmin starts up and minimises to
tray...

Green light..... (3 seconds)..... red light :-(

Open up "Services" from "Administra tive Tools" and manual restart the
server...... "Server started succesfully"..
..... brief green light....... light goes red again. Reopen the "services"
thing, and the MySQL service is no longer running.

Try running the mysqld-nt.exe file. No effect.

Then open up a command prompt. Type "net start mysql"......... "service
started successfully".. ...
.... brief green light again.......... . red after ~3 seconds.

As a test, I type "net stop mysql"....... sure enough....... "cannot stop
service as it is not running etc."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

Any ideas based on that information???

I have only used mysql as standalone, i.e. I start it with command:
c:\mysql\bin\my sqld --standalone

So I don't know about services or anything else you mentioned about. How
ever there should be error.log on your computer, which might tell why it
does that.

I searched for an error file but found nothing relevant. I also tried your
"c:\mysql\bin\m ysqld --standalone" thing, but no luck.

Grrrrrrr.

Hi All, I've been trying to build a Ruby-on-Rails plus MySQL application. I'm running Ruby 1.8.2, Rails 1.1.4 and MySQL 5.0.15-nt over WinXP-Pro/SP2. I run under an Administrative account. I tried building the first example from Agile Web Development with Rails, 1st ed. Somehow the DB got corrupted and I couldn't recover. Instead of retrying that, I tried building the first example from Ruby For Rails, which worked fine.

Hi, is it possible that due to OS crash or mysql itself crash or some e.g. SCSI failure to lose all the data stored in the table (let's say million of 1KB rows). In other words what is the worst case scenario for MyISAM backend? Also is it possible to not to lose data but get them corrupted?
