WampServer

Installing v2 WAMP on a fresh station to test and document all needed changes to the configuration. Also installed MySQL GUI Tools 5.0, specifically for using MySqlAdministrator. After I authenticate at the login prompt, MySQLAdministrator produces the following error msg:

"Either the server service or the configuration file could not be found. Startup variables and service section are therefore disabled."

Now, I had this exact problem with v1 WAMP, and the solution then had to do with WAMP using its own named instance of MySQL. The solution then was to add the following definition to the My.ini file:

[mysqld]
port=3306

Well, I was all set to do this for the v2 WAMP stack and immediately saw that it's already in the My.INI file. So... what's the problem this time? Is there a different named instance with v2 WAMP?

TIA,

Rick

You need to add the path of my.ini in registry referring to this thread

Didn't notice your forum thread hyperlink was the solution to which you were referring. It's hard to tell when you just see a [wampserver.comp] reference.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\wampmysql\ImagePath

change from: c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45\bin\mysqld-nt.exe wampmysqld
change to: c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45\bin\mysqld-nt.exe --defaults-file=c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45\my.ini wampmysqld


Not exactly intuitive, but thanks.
