WampServer

Hi,

After some problems with skype i succeeded in installing Wamp5 (1.6.6), but when i start the services mysql stops immediately (apache is running).

When i try to open phpMyAdmin it immediately get the error message: #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO). If i want to login directly into mySql through the console 9C:\wamp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe i get a similar message: #1045 (28000) - Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO).

I used a clean install on Windows XP. I went trough the forum but although there seem to be some related problems i found no clear solution.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Gertjan

Hi Gertjan, have you looked at the MySQL log file? it might tell you what is happening. Go to WAMP icon, Log Files, mysql error log.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the hint. The log file says:

061218 10:39:39 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43655
061218 10:39:39 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
061218 10:39:39 [ERROR] Aborting

061218 10:39:39 InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
061218 10:39:41 InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 43655
061218 10:39:41 [Note] c:\wamp\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe: Shutdown complete

This does explain the problem because i have indeed a process mysqld-nt.exe running after start up. If i kill the process and restart wampserver it works fine. So no the problem has become: why does mysql start on startup and how to change this? I have no other mysql installations and configured wampserver gor manual startup ...

Thanks, Gertjan
