    Installing MySQL on Windows Vista Ultimate

    Alright I'm trying to install MySQL (newest version) from the .msi file provided by the mysql site. While running the config after the install I hit execute and the MySQL Server Instance Configuration gives me an X for start service, i've tried using different ports and my firewall is off. I've searched the web for an answer to this and it seems tons of people are having the same issue but no one has really provided a resolution to it. If anyone can give me a hand or provide a useful link it would be apprecieated.

    Solution

    Alright I kept playing with it and duh fighured it out, so ill post it for anyone else who might have the same problem. I had to change the port to 26 and now it works fine, also make sure your firewall is off.

      actually you want your firewall on, and create a policy for that port to accempt incoming/outgoing connections from: all (defined list of ips (rac nodes), local network, or local host. most secure is local host then you could edit your hosts file o create a secure network connection and name it the instance name.
