WampServer

Hi guys,
I've installed WAMP2SERVER today and for some reason, the MySQL just doesn't start. No error message, the little icon simply stay at the yellow state...

Anyone got any ideas what might be the problem?

Thanks

Hello all,

I am having troubles as well with the mysql service not starting in Windows Vista Home Premium.

The apache side of things is running properly on port 80.

The firewall is configured to allow port 3306 for mysql. I even tried turning it off just to see if it was the trouble.

This is the error log entry displaying the problem:

InnoDB: The first specified data file .\ibdata1 did not exist:

Other variables:

Uninstalled the following programs before I installed wampserver:

Visual Studio 5
Mysql 5 and tools for Visual Studio

**Note: Cleaned registry and rebooted before trying wampserver install. Also checked everywhere I could think of for lingering Mysql folders and files.

One thing I have noticed here is that when I installed wampserver it did not create a my.ini file. The my.ini file that does exist is the example file and has no data relating to my setup specifically (I don't think).

I have also run MySQLInstanceConfig.exe which at first gave me an error saying it couldn't find \my-template.cnf, so I moved the file into the C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.33\bin folder, which it then accepted and produced the: Could not start the service MySQL error:0 result.

I have read every forum entry my eyes could deal with in the past two days and I can't find anything matching a solution for this [ERROR] wampmysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb'.

Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
