    Newcomer help please

    Hi guys
    Have just decided to start to learn MySQL after many years in MS Access.
    Have got hold of MySQL 4.0.21 (Windows, as soon as I'm profiicient I'll move
    to Linux) - not the most recent version but it came with the book I bought
    (PHP, MySQL and Apache Allin One by Julie C. Meloni pubs Sams) as I wanted a
    reference to point me in the right direction. After installing all three
    apps and starting WinMySQLAdmin 1.4 I tried to start the MySQL Service from
    the Traffic Lights I get the following message:

    Fails to start the service. PLease wait 30 seconds to try again.

    No matter how many times I try the MySQL service never starts. Please help

    --
    Thanks

    TJ

      Search for mysql.err file in your MySQL/data folder. It might give some
      clues what went wrong.

          Thanks - I've uninstalled MySQL, searched and removed every entry in the
          registry, rebooted and re-installed MySQL and it works. Thanks for the
          help.
