howto Mysql-shareware on win 98 SE localhost

[431964]

Hello,<br>
<br>
<br>
Am I trying the impossible here or ?<br>
<br>
I try to get Mysql-shareware running on win 98 SE with the <br>
Active State perl (new) and Xitami webserver.<br>
I know nothing about unix, linux.<br>
<br>
I try to mimic my webservers environment so I installed: <br>
mysql in c:/usr/local/musql<br>
as perl is in c:/usr/local/bin<br>
<br>
Getting tired of all the typing and for ease of use <br>
(the server needs its basedir given at the ccommandline)<br>
I rename d mysql-shareware in mysqld this didn't work so.<br>
I installed it all new with all the default settings and <br>
cleaned the registry.<br>
<br>
<br>
so that:<br>
<br>
basedir is c:/mysql/<br>
datadir is c:/xitami/webpages/softweb/cgi-bin/data/<br>
and also added c:\mysql\bin to my path in autoexec.bat<br>
<br>
<br>
but then:<br>
<br>
C:/&gt;cd \mysql\bin<br>
C:/&gt;mysqld-shareware<br>
<br>
Ctrl-Alt-Del yes musqld-shareware is running<br>
<br>
C:/&gt;mysqlshow nothing only the helpscreen rolls out and that <br>
happens with all programms in the mysql\bin dir.<br>
The windows MuSqlManager can't delete or connect <br>
to anything but the topics Test and Mysql can expand<br>
into their keys.<br>
<br>
C:/&gt;mysqlshow -u root mysql <br>
C:/&gt;mysqladmin version status proc<br>
C:/&gt;mysql test <br>
C:/&gt;mysqladmin ping<br>
<br>
mysqladmin -u root shutdown doesnt work<br>
server can only be killed with Ctrl-Alt-Del<br>
<br>
Question can mysql(shareware) run on win98?<br>
and if so <br>
how should it be installed (maybe it is enough when <br>
you send me the cnf's of a working win98 installation?)<br>

check the clients version. i use winclients-3.23.14<br><br>you'll have to check hosts.sam if there are any changes.<br><br>mysql seems to check for localhost by default.<br><br>if that doesnt work, you'll have to see if TCP/IP is installed, try 'ping 127.0.0.1' and check.<br><br>if that works then you can try 'mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root'<br><br>and leave the password field blank.<br><br>i'm using win98 SE with mysql-shareware-3.22.34-win and winclients-3.23.14 without any problems.<br><br>i do not monitor this board, so mail me at <A HREF="mailto:hrishi@mm.strategicnewspapers.com">hrishi@mm.strategicnewspapers.com</A> if you're still stuck.
