All right, so I'm trying to make a server on my computer (Windows XP, Service Pack 2) and MySQL isn't working right now...I need to know why. I'm going to be as specific as I can, so my mistake can be spotted easily. Ok, so I installed Apache 2.0.54, it worked fine. Then I installed PHP 5. I unzipped the package into te directory, then added the following to httpd.conf to make it work: It worked fine. Then I installed MySQL...now here's where the problem is...so I ran Setup.exe, installed it to the default directory, and configured it with the Instance Config Wizard. I didn't know what to do next, so I looked up a couple tutorials. I did as they said and copied my-medium.ini, renamed it to my.cnf, and put it in C:/WINDOWS. Then I made a new file, named my.ini, put it in the same place, and put the following in it: Now, the tutorial said it should work, so I decided to try it out by trying to install a phpBB forum on the server. However, when I filled out the forms, it gave me this:
I'm not at all sure what's going on, so can anyone help? Did I miss a step? Thanks in advance! PS: Please do not tell me to use Linux, because I would never use that excuse for an operating system unless my life depened on it. |

I'm only using that thing as a last resort, last time I used it, it totally screwed up MySQL, said that a file was corrupt or something... Anyway, can anyone help? If no one can then I guess I'll use that program... <_< |

Use that. Trust me, I tried exactly what you are trying to do and wasted hours and hours when WAMPserver does it in miniutes. |
