I messed up big time I was trying to update mysql didn't go to well passwords all get messed up so tried to uninstall it worked to some point but was unable to reinstall it "it still detects the old version", I also tried to update the php to the latest version thinking this maybe a factor and that messed up.

I need a tutorial on installing them all from the start php, apache, perl, mysql etc. I don't want to use wamp or any other quick solutions as upgrading and adding extensions becomes a problem.

Anyone know of a site with a full tutorial?

What kind of server is this?

I set it up on my home pc for testing, I've removed everything at this point

Windows or Linux?

OK first..

Get rid of windows.

Dual boot or just learn linux.


Get something like Fedora, Ubuntu, Or Centos ( id reccomend centos for servers )

Then open up a terminal and type

yum install php php-mysql mysql-server mysql-client httpd

and hit enter.

Then type.
service httpd start
service mysql start

and
chkconfig mysqld on
chkconfig httpd on

( Makes sure they start at runtime. )


DONE.

OK first..

Get rid of windows.

As far as I can relate to that, it may be a bit too much for non geeks.

That's not fun.

Hi :-)

The uninstall-install process does not remove the database files and the config file.
Database files reside on /var/lib/mysql.
You can also delete a specific database /var/lib/mysql/<database name>.
The config file is in /etc/my.cnf

Apart from that, the other files (which I don't think you have a problem with) get distributed on the filesystem just like any other application. If you remove it through RPM, they get deleted.

I recommend removing these files/folders (/etc/my.cnf, /var/lib/mysql/) AFTER you remove mysql.

Steps as follows:
1. Stop the mysql server.
2. Remove it
3. Delete the files/folders
4. Re-Install

Enjoy!

I see it's an windows installation. Use winmysqladmin to stop the service and then to uninstall the service. Delete the /mysql folder, my.ini from /windows or /winnt folder, and the link, if exists, to winmysqladmin from startup. Now you can install all from the scratch. If you want to keep your database (or databases), backup all on a folder without the mysql database.

Man, I missed the mysqladmin.exe part in the question.
1. How do I delete my own comment?
2. Where do I bury myself?

This doesn't answer how to uninstall the MySQL service mine points to the old install ie :
C:\www\mysql\bin\mysqld-max-nt.exe MySQL

But now I have installed PhPDev5 and it resides in :
C:\phpdev5\mysql

How can I either redirect the service or uninstall it so that I can install MySql as a service from "Spinny" on phpDev5

Thanx in advance

After banging my head against my keyboard until the S, Q, and L keys sprang out like shrapnel I finally figured out what the problem is and how to solve it.

I was using the MySQL 4.1.11 Installer on my Window XP computer. After the installation completed the installer automatically jumped into the MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard. When the wizard tried to complete the configuration the “Error: Cannot create Windows service for MySQL. Error: 0,” popped up. This is a Windows System Error.

What is happening is a preinstalled MySQL service is installed and recognized in the Windows background. Weather or not it is disabled the operating system will not allow another MySQL service to be installed. To verify this you can check the Services. Do this by clicking on the…

> “Start Menu”
> “Control Panel”
> “Administrative Tools”
> “Services”

The services are listed alphabetically. Scroll down to find MySQL. If you find it you have found your problem. (Incidentally, while I was in here I right-mouse-clicked on the service and opened properties, stopped the service and then disabled the service. The problem still didn’t go away and my head-banging-against-keyboard started up again.) The solution is to remove the service, but there is no option for that in the Services window. To delete the service you need use the command prompt. Start the command prompt by clicking on the….

> “Start Menu”
> “All Programs”
> “Accessories”
> “Command Prompt”

This will bring up the Command window. To delete the MySQL service type the following…

sc delete mysql

…and hit the enter key. If it is successful the Command Prompt window will give the following feedback.

[SC] DeleteService SUCCESS

For trivia’s sake what you communicate through the Command Prompt window when you type this is…

sc = you contact a command line program used for
communicating with the NT Service Controller
and services

delete = deletes a service from the registry

mysql = the service that gets deleted.

What you do next depend on weather MySQL is still installed. If you didn’t uninstall MySQL click on the…

> “Start Menu”
> “All Programs”
> “MySQL”
> “MySQL Server 4.1”
> “MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard”

Run through the Config Wizard. MySQL should set up with out any problems.

If you already uninstalled MySQL then run though the installer and things should work out.

Now this is for removing the service.
To uninstall, and that's the beauty of unixes application, simply delete the folder where mysql was installed.
You may have an file c:\windows\my.ini(or not, it depends if you ran the winmysqladmin.exe tool)

Thank you so much that worked whooooo! I'm using wamp and its seems to be working 100% with no lagging thank you so much, you have no idea how much trouble this caused me.

Ok worked to some way after 10 mins I noticed wamp times out "just keeps loading" Any idea's? when the other mysql versions where on the system it lasted 3-4 minutes before timing out.

Like that, no...

Do you see something in your computer logs?
And on the mysql log?
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/error-log.html

Just un-installed everything on my computer : did a full re-install of vista and tried xampp but guess what same problems with the system timing out.

Sorry, I honestly don't know where to look...
Why don't you try to run a complete lamp stack from a virtual machine instead.
I had several problems with xampp on windows (mostly apache) in the past.

Download virtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) and then get this appliance:
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/lamp

You have a tutorial to run it from virtualbox here:

Got it all sorted using this tutorial http://www.techmalaya.com/2007/09/10...h-screenshots/
