The MySQL Service Has Disappeared From Win XP Service List


I have been using MySQL for about 3 years now on Win XP Pro SP2 and had no real problems. Until today I went to start the service in windows service list (I start it manually) and it was gone!

The MySQL install (MySQL 5.0) is still visible in add/remove programs and all the files and directories are present.

MySQL As Service
I have MySQL installed at D:mysql.  I have put my.ini with correct basedir and datadir entried into D:Windows.  When I attempt to run mysqld-max-nt --install I get the service installed but it will only show it as being installed on the C drive.

MySQL Service Crash
I have the following query which runs fine without the insert
statment.

INSERT INTO `db_x`.`attributes` (id, typeid, value, start_time,
end_time)
SELECT distincti.id,
at.id AS typeid,
d.megapixels AS value,
NULL AS start_time,
NULL AS end_time
FROM `db_y`.`data` d, `db_x`.`attribute_types` at, `db_x`.`items`
i
WHERE at.name = 'megapixel' AND i.secondid = d.p_id
AND d.megapixels is not null;

When I run it without the insert statement it return 500 rows in about
90ms, when I add the insert statement the whole MySQL service stops.
The `db_x`.`attributes` table furthermore contains a field 'yo' which
is the primary key and an auto_increment field.
I am running MySQL 4.1.9-nt. It is running on Windows Server 2003.

MySQL Service Cannot Start
I'm pretty much a newbie. So can you guyz please give thorough instruction when helping me?

I installed mySQL using a PHP installation package, FoxServ. Until now, mySQL cannot start (red traffic light). Whenever I try to start it manually using Administrative Tools>>Services, I got a message saying "Could not start the MySql service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly". I've read through a previous post on this forum regarding the problem but none of the solutions worked. So I figured that it might be something wrong with Foxserv, instead of mySQL. So i uninstalled FoxServ and installed another package called XAMPP. However, I still encounter the same problem. I've tried several installation packages but mySQL still doesn't work. Is the computer blocking mySQL services or something? But I checked Windows Firewall and under the 'Exceptions' tab, all mysql-related stuff (mysqld, mysqld-max, mysqld-nt, mysqld-nt0 are ticked. Everyone else who uses these packages didn't get similar problems. And another thing, while installing mySQL using WinLAMP (another package), I got a message saying: "Port 3306 is already in used". Not understanding what it means, I proceed with port 3306 anyway. Could this be the root of the problem?

Re-setting Mysql As A Service
I installed mysql server 4.1 last month. When I installed it, I set it
to run as a service to start automatically. However, for some reason,
that no longer occurs. I can't even see the mysql service running from
services viewer in win xp. I now have to manually start mysql server
each time I reboot.

Can someone please tell me how I can Re-set mysql to run as a
service?? Or, if I re-install mysql, will it retain the db's already
created??

Can't Remove MySQL Service On Win XP
I am trying to reinstall MySQL on a Win XP pro box. After
uninstalling MySQL 3.x, a 'MySQL' service is left in the
list of services. I can't figure out how to delete it, and
installation of MySQL 4.1 fails during configuration. The
old service may not be the problem, but can anyone suggest
how to get rid of it?

MySQL Service Stopping
I'm experiencing a problem with MySQL. We're running version 5.0 on a Windows 2003 server and anytime I try to access our databases through MySQL Administrator or MySQL Query Browser, the MySQL service stops.

When I logon to the server to restart the service I get a pop-up message asking if I want to send an error report to Microsoft. The error message says that MySQLD-NT.exe encountered a problem and needed to close. What would cause the executable to encounter a problem?

I don't understand why I can run my application, which is called through ColdFusion MX7) can run against the database fine but going through MySQL Admin or MySQL Query Browser causes the service to shutdown.

MySql Service Will Not Start
I installed MySQL and MyODBC on a Win2k server, got it all working fine. Created a database and tables, pulled all information through ASP files.

Just randomly MySQL stopped.  I went to Services and tried to restart it... it attempts to start but fails.  Event View gives no cause, just says MySql failed to start the (x) time. Any ideas on what this could be from? Nothing has changed on the server.

MySQL SERVICE KEEPS DIEING
I was having problems with phpmyadmin and decided to upgrade to MySQL 5.0 alpa because phpmyadmin docs say that 4.1 is not "fully" compatible so I thought I might fix some problems.

Anyway, now the service keeps dieing, including when I try to log into phpmyadmin. I have it set to auto restart, but this cant remain like this.

Why is it doing this? I am running on Window 2000 Server fully patched.

MySQL Service Crash
I have the following query which runs fine without the insert statment.

INSERT INTO  `db_x`.`attributes` (id, typeid, value, start_time,
end_time)
SELECT   distinct i.id,
   at.id AS typeid,
   d.megapixels AS value,
   NULL AS start_time,
   NULL AS end_time
FROM     `db_y`.`data` d, `db_x`.`attribute_types` at, `db_x`.`items`
i
WHERE    at.name = 'megapixel' AND i.secondid = d.p_id
AND   d.megapixels is not null;

When I run it without the insert statement it return 500 rows in about 90ms, when I add the insert statement the whole MySQL service stops. The `db_x`.`attributes` table furthermore contains a field 'yo' which is the primary key and an auto_increment field.

I am running MySQL 4.1.9-nt. It is running on Windows Server 2003. I found out it's the following error: 2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query. It also happens when I execute a large batch file.

Mysql Service Will Not Stop
What does this problem mean and how can I solve it?

net stop mysql
The MySQL service is stopping......... (never stops)

I am running Windows 2000 SP 4 with mysql 5.0.24a.

Uninstalling MySQL Service
I have an error that pops up in a prompt saying that "(null) was compiled with ... and PHP was compiled with... They must match." I don't remember the entire pargraph and couldn't copy it so I could paste it here. But part of it was "Thread Safety-1" This window pops up 16 times with OK Only during start up of my windows XP system. I can't tell if it is related to MySQL or PHP.

I have a MySQL Service running that is associtated with a non-existant directory. It is the only one. I want to uninstall the service but don't know how. Windows Service Manager (or MMC) won't let me do anything but start or stop the service. I say the MySQL is associated with that folder because when I select properties it tells me the directory. How can I uninstall this so I can make a fresh start?


MYSQL SERVICE WILL NOT START
I run the instance configuration, then when i try to execute the operation, I get ERROR 0: Cannot "Start" Service.

Now, before everyone sends me links to MikesServiceRemover, please know that the service is installed just fine, however there's no way that i can "start" it. I've actually tried mikesServiceRemover and it tells me that Mysql41 service exists, but that it's not running.

I've tried going to the bin directory and running mysqld, mysql.exe, and almost all the other ones, and the same thing happens: a command line blips up, then disappears, and i know it's not running because it doesn't even show up in my task manager.

MySQL Service Error
I am trying to start MySQL as a service in Windows but it is not working.  The error I am getting is below:

"FATAL ERROR: Can't open priveledge tables: table 'msql.host' doesn't exist"

I started the service before and it ran fine.  After I rebooted the machine and tried to restart MySQL I got the error.

Can Not Start MySQL Service
When I tried to install MySQL 5 it gave me this:
"Could not start the service MySQL5. Error: 0"
durring configuration. I've tried everything I could find on the forums and nothing worked. Now I don't know what to do.

MySQL Service Disabling
I am running MySQL 5.0.16 on Windows XP Pro box w/ 320 MB RAM. All current updates. I have been running this version since about March and have not had any problems with it. Starting Aug. 1, at random times throughout the day the service will disable itself. It might have once a day, it might have 2-3 times a day. We have to go in and manually and restart the service. I set the recovery to automatically restart itself, but that is a whole different story. I checked the error log and it looks like MySQL is doing the disabling and not Windows or some other application. My tables are setup for InnoDB. I have tried to dig deeper into the logs to see if I can figure out why it's disabling but I can't seem to find anything. I was wondering if there was a query that was overloading it or something else that was causing this.

Windows Service For MySQL
Im trying to install MySQL on a XP Pro SP1a machine. It wont start the service from the installer. I go to start the service manually, and it fails as well. It says "Error 1067. The process terminated unexpectedly."

MySQL Service Won't Start And I Am Getting An Error 23
I have over 23 gig in a MySQL database that will now not start the service and gives me a error 23.. What can I do to get my data back? I have read everything I could find about restoring the database and nothing has worked. I am running on Windows and I have ran chkdsk on all volumes. ChkDsk did say it fixed bad clusters on the ibdata1 file. But the service will start for a few seconds and then shut down with the error 23. I have the ibdata1 and log files. Is there a way to get my database back? I know the data is in there since the ibdata1 file is so large..

MySQL Automaticly Stops The Service
I've been MySQL for a view years now, without any problems. Until....
Last week I've formatted my PC and had to install MySQL again (no problems installing), but now, when I want to "Start the Service", immedialtly the service is stopped (the trafficlight turns from green to red within a second)

Mysql As A Service And Root Password (-w W)
I have a few qeustions for some linux/mysql pros in here.

Background: I've just built MySQL on Mandrake Linux 9.1 from source.
I can get the mysql service running my:
shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

but I don't know how to keep it running, or how to make it start at
every bootup. How do I do that?

Also, I've made an alias to mysql:
alias=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

but it won't span sessions, I think I need to export it, but I'm not
sure how to.

Also, via mysqladmin I set the root password to "password" which I
don't want to keep :) how do I got about changeing it now?

Thanks so much for your help. I know I probably should have installed
via RPM, but I'm wanting to learn as much as I can about all of this.

Cannot Create Windows Service For MySql.Error:0
I am trying to Configure mysql,but when I click "Execute" I see red X at Start Service with message "Cannot Create windows service for MySql.Error:0"

Mysql Service Won't Start Error 1067
I am running coldfusion mx 6.1 windows platform. Yesterday everthing was working fine this morning nothing has changed but when I try 2 enter my login password in mysql command line it just closes.

When I re-install it works again but I have 2 do this like every day. Some how after I reboot the mysql service is stopped and when I log back in it does not automatically start. I have tried to start it manually but no luck with that either I get the same error.

MySQL Administrator Install (service Already Exists)
I've installed MySQL 4.1 on a W2k machine and would now like to install MySQL Administrator. Whenever I try to do so, however, I get an error message saying that the specified service (which service is isn't specified!) already exists and the installation fails. I get the same error trying to install the Query Browser.

It was suggested elsewhere that this may be due to my version of MSI being out of date, so I've updated to V2, de-installed MySQL (including removing all traces from the registry and HD) and re-installed using the latest MSI. Same result.

Mysql Nt Service Stopped Starting After 2 Years
i have been running mysql on windows server 2003 for the last almost 2 years (its a really early version of mysql 4 anyway) but now all of a sudden mysql service stopped starting, i can go to services, press start and then refresh and its off again! i have a feeling that someone deleted the core mysql table (mysql) as it is now totally empty.

im not too good with my sql as i generally use mssql or whatever, infact mysql never really installed properly, the only user i could ever use was root but i didnt mind this so i just left it and it was fine for 2 years but now its just stopped all of a sudden and i cant get it back on.

i have enabled the mssql php exension as a backup system but i cant transfer any databases across without enabling mysql.. but it wont turn on! i tried several exes in e:mysqlin but none got it on (well one of them made the little winmysqladmin light go on for half a second)

MySQL Service Keeps Shutting Down In Windows Server
Strange, MySQL has been running smoothly for almost a year on this server, and just recently it shuts down after boot up. Running Windows 2003 with all patches.

Any attempts to restart MySQL results in shutdown of the service.
This is the Event error message:
"TCP/IP, --shared-memory, or --named-pipe should be configured on NT OS"

Here is the log that shows the shutdown... Code:

Stored Function Stops MySQL Service

Restarting MySQL Service Resets My Privelages
When i restart my MySQL service in Windows all my priveleges are reset for my Databases.

I can then no longer access the database(s) in my scripting.

I am using the GUI through Control Panel > Administration Tools > Services and not the command line 'net stop mysql'.

Why would this occur?

Mysql Service Is Stopping Everyday At Same Time
Here is the situation: at about 10:45 am every work day (M-F) for the last two weeks, I am getting the following error, and the mysql service just stops (running on Windows 2003, using IIS).

What's Up Gold catches that the service was stopped and restarts it automatically for me after about two minutes. But, I want to know what is causing this. Below is the error log entry, and below that is the explanation of error number 33 from the URL given in the error entry.

Any ideas what could be causing this lock at the same time everyday? I have checked scheduled tasks, etc., but nothing obvious is standing out.

I want to run it and give it access only the directories of its own account.

MySQL Service Problems (Not Error 1067!)
Been banging on this all day and I think I've hosed MySQL due to the number of uninstalls and reinstalls. Maybe there is a bug in the uninstall because I don't think it removes everything.

For starters, the MySQL service is stuck in the Services window.

Anyway, the new instance called "mysqlreinst" works from the comman line just fine with "mysqld-nt". But, we need a service, and the service will won't start. The error log looks like this:

Quote: Originally Posted by MySQL error file InnoDB: Error: log file .ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 5242880 bytes
InnoDB: then specified in the .cnf file 0... bytes
blah blah...

So it sounds like my fresh install is clashing with some old MySQL install, back fromt he grave to wreak havoc on my sanity, leaving nothing in its wake.

I searched around on this forum (you guys are pretty good) but nothing helped.

I tried to put the my.ini file in C:winnt but then nothing works, neither command line nor service. So, I deleted the file.

My <MySQL root>my.ini says MySQL should listen on 3309. It actually listens on 3306. Does this mean the my.ini is being ignored?

I searched the whole filesystem for files ending in .cnf. Nothing MySQL related was returned.

Restart MySQL Service After Root Password Change
I installed mySQL on a Win2k machine and tried to change the root password,
which didn't seem to work.

I changed it this way:

c:>mysql
mysql> use mysql
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD('test') where user='root';
mysql> exit

and then tried to login this way:

c:>mysql -u root -p
password: test

which didn't work. Then, after many unsuccessful attempts, I restarted the
service and suddenly the password I had set worked. Then I realized that (at
least for the root password) I needed to restart the mySQL service everytime
I changed the root password, otherwise it would not become effective.

Is this by design??? Am I doing something wrong?

MYSQL Service Shuts Down On WIN2K With A 7031 Event

Using FTP Service
I'm trying to upload on my web site server some files I have on the client machine (where I run the internet browser).

I tried ftp_put, but it does not work as it considers the server machine as the local one, and an FTP server as the remote machine.

What would be the solution if I want the clients browsing my web site to upload files onto the web server computer from their own computer?

Installing As A Service
from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-config-wizard-confirmation.html:

"If you chose to create a service for the MySQL server, the MySQL Configuration Wizard creates and starts the service."

Please, what does it mean to install as a service (as oppposed to not installing as a service..).

Cant Start Service
I just installed MySQL and the installed never completed because it could not start the service.  So i had to cancel out and try to start it manually which of course did not work.  Any ideas here?  Its never been installed on this machine before.

Cannot Start Service
i get this error message when trying to configure my server. well i think its not realated to that "service register"-issue alot of people have cause i allreday tried deleting everything even the registered service and reinstal the server also i havent had an mysql server before on my machine.

Start Service
i can't manage to start the service when windows starts... Even with manually starting C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.0inmysqld-nt , it will go up for 20? seconds, and after that it shuts down again...

With the service from the guide; "C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.0inmysqld" --install , it won't work.. Because it says it does not gets recognized :S (Also, i can't find mysqld, only mysqld-nt.)

Service Not Comming Up
after installation starting the service,, closed immediatly. why?

Service Name Issue
I've an issue whenever i try to create new server instances. I realized that i am unable to create server instances service with the same name even though i have deleted the old one. Even after reinstalling MySQL 4.1 i still failed to use the prefered (used before) service name.IS there any workaround? or do i just have to make do with a new service name?

Service Keeps Stopping
I've been toying with this problem for almost two weeks and am now on the verge of formating my pc. My two last call for helps :
1) Why is it that my new service name for server instance can't be the same as the old one even though i have deleted the old one?
2) i am administering MySQL using MySQL Administrator 1.0, i can log in and see the service running, but a few seconds later it stopped. Then i won't be able to restart it

Service Could Not Be Started
I just installed mysql (again) and I am getting the error service could not be started error: 0,
what am I doing wrong or what have I forgotten?

WinXP Service
My MySQL 5 service will not start. Not sure if it is related to a registry cleaning I performed a while back or not. I was aware of the dangers of doing this, but had no choice. Anyway, I have not backed up a couple of critical DBs, and I cannot access them. Would I be able to copy the data directory, where the DBs are, reinstall MySQL, and move them back, or is this wishfull thinking? If not, are there any other options?

Windows Service
cofiguring the MySQL Server 4.1 on my XP based system im getting this error message "Cannot create windows service for MySQL. Error:0"

I've searched the forums and most suggestions were that I remove all instances of MySQL server. I even downloaded a tool to do this. Still no luck. I also have firewalls disabled, etc.

Configuring The Service In Each Start Up?
A couple of weeks ago I posted several questions in one post, and I think I overwhelmed people, so I'm breaking it into individual questions this time.

I don't know why but everytime I use MySQL I need to reconfigure the server using the wizard(I go to start>programs>mysql>MySQL server 4.1>MySQL service instance config wizard) everytime I turn my computer on. If I don't, I get a "ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" error when trying to connect to the server in any account. I don't have to change anything when I run the wizard, I just click next all the way, and when its done I can connect normally.

I've noticed that at the end of the configuration when its running through all the tasks, the last one says "Sart service". I'm guessing that I'm not starting the mysql service when I turn my computer on, and that reconfiguring the service solves the problem because it starts the service for me. Do I have to reconfigure the service everytime I want to use it? Is there another way or maybe start the service automatically?
