MySQL Service Bug

When I run the start menu item to start mySQL nothing happens and when I went to “services.msc” there isn’t anything remotely resembling a “RubyStack MySQL” service to start. The installer worked fine and as far as I can see everything is in the mysql/bin folder on my drive but there is no service and so I can’t start the server. Help! PS: I’m running Vista Premium Thanks!

Hi timw06, thank you for posting the bug. First of all, what happen when you try to connect to the database? Open a “Use Ruby” console and try to run following command:

mysql -u root -p—port=3306

What error message do you get?

If none, MySQL is running. Then you can try to start your web server as described in http://bitnami.com/tutorials/from_instantrails_to_rubystack in the section “How can I start my web application?”

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘localhost’ (10061)

This error happens when MySQL server is not started. You can try to start MySQL server manually. Open a “Use Ruby” console and type this command:

mysqld

Then, you can try to connect to mysql. Open another ruby console and run the following command:

mysql -u root -p

If no error is found, you can see the MySQL welcome message.

thanks beltran it’s working now
