WampServer

Hi, i installed Wamp server 2.5. But i find MYSQL 5.6 slowing my pc down alot and sometimes crashing it. This was not a problem on older versions of MYSQL. I still want to use latest Apache and php, but please can you tell me how to get an older version of MYSQL in my Wamp server ?

Hi,

Use "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" as host name for the connections to MySQL.

Otomatic. Its not the connections to mysql crashing my pc. Its the actual MYSQL 5.6 service running in the background slowing everything down. Can you point me on some documentation on how to install an older version of MYSQL on Wamp 2.5 ?

Solved it by setting, performance_schema = 0 , in my.ini, section [mysqld]

I find this a useful mod to my.ini as well

# reduce mem size for MYISAM usage
table_definition_cache = 600

MySQL 5.6 seems to use a very large amount of memory by default and this reduces it from about half a gig to a more sensible size.
