I must change the port to start mysqld...

[Barth?l?my von Haller]

Hi !

I installed mysql on windows xp. The first time I started mysld, there
is no problem. But, now, each time I start mysqld, I must change the
port in my.xxx else I got the following error : "Do you already have
another mysqld server running on port : 3306 ?" etc...
I stop mysqld with : "mysqladmin -u root shutdown".

So, why I can't use the same port each time ?

thanks in advance

regards

Barth

Well have you checked do you have any mysqld processer running? Perhaps
you have installed mysql as a service and it starts up every time you
restart the computer?

You could try to connect to the port with mysql console program, or
telnet to make sure there is no mysql-server on that port. Telnet might
even tell if there is some other server on that port.
