Me and olajideolaolorun spent an entire night trying to figure this out. We could not figure out how to get around this. Basically MySQL will not start up when I ask for it to start running. We tried MANY things and nothing worked. We tried so many things, its easier just to post the conversation we had.

sachit: haha, alright... here's a quick story first to help you understand
sachit: my office hired a guy to do their database... guy was an amateur (hated codign and thought it was hard)... so he made it in filemaker pro
sachit: i hated it.... so i said i'd help design it again in mysql
sachit: so, i found WAMP and found your Uni Server and wanted to install it on my USB key
sachit: problem is... mysql doesn't work on it... i get the 2003 error
olajid: 2003 error?
sachit: i also gave in and tried installing it on my computer (apache, mysql and php) but i ccouldn't get them to work either.)
sachit: hold up, let me start it up again and see what it exactly said
olajid: soo you installed them singlely
sachit: well AFTEr i couldn't get uni server to work... i went and downlaoded each individiually to install on my computer (something i didn't really want to do)
sachit: well i installed the uniserver onto my USB
sachit: hit the START file
sachit: and the thing opens up in my browser....
sachit: NOW... how do i start running my php files ?
sachit: and if i click Run MySQL, i get:
sachit: » Security Alert! Possible Attack HTTP_REFERER is not localhost. but ''. To disable this warning go: /home/admin/www/cgi-bin/secure.pm
olajid: so the serveer do work.... just problem with mysql?
sachit: sorry, 2003 error was probably something else
sachit: yah i guess mysql is the problem
olajid: go to that file and put a # before every line in thsat file... thhe seecure.pm file.
sachit: and also... where would i put my files to actually have it working? (and can i install phpMyAdmin?)
sachit: see, the thing is... theres SEVERAL versions of that file
olajid: phpmyadmin is already installed...
sachit: oh ok
sachit: ok ok... let me explain
olajid: there should only be one secure.pm in the W:/home/admin/www/cgi-bin/en/
sachit: G: is my USB key... when i run it, it starts another on W: (i assume thats the server)
sachit: oh ok... /EN/
olajid: they ar both the same thing...
olajid: g and w
sachit: i know, but the secure.pm file was what messed me up
sachit: did you type that error message?
sachit: cause you should add after /cgi-bin/EN
sachit: so i comment out the ENTIRE file to the bottom?
sachit: except the first line?
olajid: w ia a subst of g
sachit: heh... all these www, admin folders is kidna what made me drop programming and go into accounting
sachit: i used to work at nortel networks.... couldn't take it anymore
sachit: so i only have a basic highschool knowledge of this stuff which gets me by.... but i still like to do little simple projects
sachit: ok, so i clicked Run MySQL again and it is a blank page (with the header and side bar around it)
sachit: how do i know if its running?
sachit: if i click phpMyAdmin: Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl4 Error MySQL said: Documentation #2003 - The server is not responding
olajid: oh ok
olajid: yap...
olajid: wee didnn't figure it was needed causee iits should bee autopmatiic tat you know what lang u are using and need to chnage..
olajid: lol..
olajid: smile.gif
olajid: wait if iit is still loading..
olajid: l
olajid: k
sachit: i notice that there is no MySQL process running in the processes
olajid: go to C:/Windows/System32 and loook for this fiile in that folder.... LIBMYSQL.DLL
olajid: if you find it in there, delete it.
olajid: i hope you already uninstalled the single softwares you installed..
olajid: they are bound to cause troubles
sachit: ok, no libmysql.dll... and no i haven't uninstalled those
sachit: i'll do that now
olajid: please do it..
sachit: doing it
olajid: andn after that cheeck for that file.. libmysql.dll in C:/Windows and C:/Windows32
sachit: ok
sachit: and where do i put my files for them to work as a php file and stuff?
sachit: oh, and that 2003 error was happening BEFORE i installed them anyways
olajid: W:/www
sachit: oh ok
sachit: so i'm going to have to copy them there everytime or will they be saved there (ie, the usb key) ?
sachit: ohhh... is W: basically a "shortcut" to the folder already on my usb key of the same nature?
olajid: yap
olajid: they are the same thing
sachit: sorry for all these questions.... i uninstalled MySQL Server 5.0 and Apache 2.0 from the uninstall list
sachit: PHP wasn't there... do i delete that manually? (AND.... the Apache2 folder is still there, can i just delete that?)
olajid: yap
sachit: and the php.ini that i had to copy in the C:/Windows?
sachit: oh, and a suggestion... PLEASE change the scroll bars in your localhost page
sachit: it takes FOREVER to scroll down
sachit: ok, two things....
sachit: two things
sachit: sad.gif
olajid: you mqan the admin panel?
sachit: yah
olajid: delete any php.ini in th C:/Windows folder
olajid: we know
sachit: yah i did
sachit: that in the next update?
sachit: heh, gets annoying having to scroll down
sachit: ok, phpinfo(), i can see mysql in there
sachit: but phpMyAdmin still gives me that error

Do you have SAM installed? Search your whole PC for LIBMYSQL.DLL.... You should only find it where Uniform Server is, if you find it elsewhere, delete it.

I got no clue what SAM is, but I assume I don't have it. And I searched my entire computer for libmysql.dll and nothing.
olajideolaolorun
There should be one in the Uniform Server directory.... or there is a problem...

[font=Arial]

I too am getting a #2003 when I try to start MySql - nothing seems to happen. I've tried multiple times now, with the same result. What was the resolution on this issue after all - was there a resolution ?

Win98 environment, just installed Uniform Server - install seemed to go fine, didn't see any error messages. Doing a standard startup of US on W:.


Help ! (And thanks !)
olajideolaolorun
Which one are you guys using... the UPXed version? or the original? Search the PC for LIBMYSQL.DL, there should be only one and it should be in the Uniform Server folder....
sachit64
I have it installed on my USB key and the only appearance of the LibMySQL.dll file is in

\Uniform Server\diskw\user\local\php
olajideolaolorun
good.... There should be one there and only there....

Go to the Services.msc.... type it in, in Run.

Look for MySQL and tell me if you find it. Look for Apache also.
sachit64
No Apache.

MySQLXY... Disabled... Local System
olajideolaolorun
I think we need to get that out of your System before MySQL will work.

K, go to the MYSQLXY properties and find the path it says its on.... put the patth in the code where i wrote 'PUT HERE'. Leave the '--remove' where it is, do not REMOVE it!

Open Notepad & Paste:

CODE

@echo off
echo Removing MySQL
net stop MySQLXY
PUT HERE --remove
pause


Save it anywhere on your system and run.

If that does not work, try this code:

CODE

@echo off
echo Removing MySQL
net stop MySQLXY
usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt.exe --remove
pause


This one has to be saved in the Uniform Server directory, where Server_Start.bat is.

Try and tell me what happens.
