I have heroku toolbelt installed on Windows7 (x64 HomeEd). When i'm trying to login to heroku, i recieve strange message about MySQL (though MySQL already works fine with all software installed):
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
(c) Microsoft Corp., 2009. All rights reserved.
C:\windows\system32>heroku login
"MySQL" is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
"MySQL" is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\windows\system32>
Exactly like shown - two times. As I found, heroku.bat does not invoke MySQL at any step. I think that OS runs some script (a kind of autoexec) just before or in parallel with heroku.bat, but i can't find the way used to do this. This is confirmed by the fact that when i start the other bat files the same two messages about MySQL appears.
Can you help me find how that strange script is invoked?
Detailed research shown that the reason is MySQL component, named "MySQL Fabric 1.5.3 & MySQL Utilities 1.5.3 1.5". During installation MySQL added it's location to Path environment variable. This caused to break Path variable contents with "&" symbol and any invocation of Path variable cause error
It seems that at some point a script tries to call MySQL.exe and this file can't be found. To solve this problem you should add the Directory containing MySQL.exe to %PATH%. First make sure MySQL.exe is located on your system. If you are not sure where it is, start CMD, go to your root directory (CD \) end enter dir /S MySQL.exe. This will search your drive for the file and show you the path, where it can be found. Save the path somewhere.
Now that you know where the file is is, you have to add it's location to %PATH%. To do so enter setx PATH "<NEWPATH>;%path%;" where is the path to the directory containing MySQL.EXE. Dont forget ;%path%;, this is very important. If you don't put it there it wil mess up your %PATH%.
Close the console, open a new one and type heroku login. This should fix the problem.
Now if you are not interested in fixing the error and just want to know where it comes from, you should post the code of the batch file that is executed by calling heroku login.
Just remove the C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Fabric 1.5 & MySQL Utilities 1.5\;C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Fabric 1.5 & MySQL Utilities 1.5\Doctrine extensions for PHP\; from your path (It is breaking things up, it gets added during MySQL installation)and add the MySQL bin path. For me it is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin

So I downloaded the MySQL installer from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/. I then went through the process of setting it up via the installer etc. After this was complete, I went to test the command in both Windows PowerShell and CMD, but neither worked.
I looked everywhere I could online to find out what the issue was, but nothing really worked. I found a post that said to add the MySQL path to the main system PATH and so I did. The command I used was:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin
I also manually edited my environment variables and checked everything there. HOWEVER, a really weird thing is that when I run that command in cmd the mysql --version command WORKS! When I run the same command in Powershell it doesn't, and when I close Windows Terminal and re-open it, the command no longer works in cmd! I really have no idea whats going on. The error message I receive in PowerShell is:
PS C:\Users\User> mysql --version
mysql: The term 'mysql' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
And the error message I receive in CMD is:
C:\Users\User>mysql --version
'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
If anyone could give me a hand, that'd be amazing, thanks.
Adding to the PATH the way you did is only temporary. It lasts as long as the terminal is open, and when the terminal is gone, so is the change to the path. Use setx instead of set to make it permanent, or make the change using the UI in Windows settings. To do the latter, open the Settings dialog and type Environment into the search box, and then choose the option to change the system environmental variables. When the System Properties dialog appears, click the Environmental variables button at the lower right.
I have downloaded the program jq-win64.exe from 'https://stedolan.github.io/jq/' and installed the program in a folder C:\Program Files\jq\ on my computer.
I have also added the PATH to the program to the end of the systemvariable string in Windows 10 : . . . ;C:\Program Files\curl\;C:\Program Files\jq\
In one terminal window in Visual Studio Code I am running a server.
In another terminal window I am trying to execute the command curl -s localhost:3000 | jq
Terminal window 1:
C:\Users\SteinarV\PROFF_JAVASCRIPT\PROJECT\smartHouse
node server.js
API running on port 3000
Terminal window 2:
C:\Users\SteinarV\PROFF_JAVASCRIPT\PROJECT\smartHouse>curl -s localhost:3000 | jq
'jq' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file
... and do not understand why jq is not recognized.
Can someone help ?
I have downloaded the program jq-win64.exe from 'https://stedolan.github.io/jq/' and installed the program in a folder C:\Program Files\jq\ on my computer.
As you have indicated, you have a file called jq-win64.exe but you are trying to execute the command jq. You either need to rename the file to jq.exe or you need to use the command jq-win64.
For a detailed explanation of how Windows finds and executes a program in your path when you enter a command, see The Windows NT Command Shell: Command Search Sequence. Specifically:
...The shell now searches each directory specified by the PATH environment variable, in the order listed, for an executable file matching the command name. If a match is found, the external command (the executable file) executes...
...If the command name does not include a file extension, the shell adds the extensions listed in the PATHEXT environment variable, one by one, and searches the directory for that file name. Note that the shell tries all possible file extensions in a specific directory before moving on to search the next directory (if there is one)...
You indicate in the comments the same error persists even when the filenames match. Note that each running program has its own set of environment variables, and these aren't updated by global changes. You need to close and reopen cmd.exe windows after making a global change. See also Adding directory to path environment variable in windows. You can use the path command to verify whether a particular terminal session has inherited the PATH variable you defined, thus narrowing your problem.
You indicate that the problem still persists. You need to use the tools available to you to narrow it down further:
Try running the program with its full path:
"C:\Program Files\jq\jq-win64.exe" --help
This will confirm that the program is present where you think it is and can be run from the terminal.
Try running the program with no path and its extension:
jq-win64.exe --help
If this works but running the program without an extension doesn't, you might have set PATHEXT to something that doesn't include ".EXE".
Try setting the path explicitly in the terminal to contain only the program directory and nothing else, then run it with its full extension:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\jq
jq-win64.exe --help
(Note that after this test you'll need to close the terminal window and start a new one to reset the path.)
If this works, perhaps you have a mismatch in your path.
Running the Config Wizard via the start menu (Windows 7) simply fails. Running it from the command prompt shows the infamous
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I know this is due to the space in "Program Files" (dir C:\pro* /x doesn't show C:\Progra~1).
The solution I've found for this is to replace C:\Program Files\... with "C:\Program Files\...".
My question is this:
Since the WebLogic config wizard runs from config.cmd, which is loaded with variables for path names, do I have to update Windows system environment variable PATH and put quotes around all path names that have a space (since I don't know what WebLogic is looking for)?
Update:
I tried this and received Files was unexpected at this time. Which made me think I was off with the quotes, but they are paired properly around every path with C:\Program Files. A search on this error resulted with this advice...basically the double quotes are the cause.
If the lack of quotes causes the first problem, and the presence of quotes causes the second problem, what to do? It's a loop...
I installed another JDK in a location with no spaces (still got the error because I didn't change any environment variables because work site will change them back, breaking things).
The install docs in chapter 4 say:
To begin domain configuration, navigate to the
ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin directory and start the
Configuration Wizard.
On UNIX operating systems:
./config.sh
On Microsoft Windows operating systems:
.\config.cmd
Which implied at a command prompt (to me anyways). I was reading another site for help and the guy said to update config.cmd to point it to new JDK location instead of JAVA_HOME.
Instead of right clicking on config.cmd to edit it I double clicked it and lo and behold...this nice domain creator GUI opened up where I could specify which JDK to use. Done! No errors...
If that little tidbit were in the docs it would've save me a lot of time and frustration. And no, I'm not a server admin type, just a dev who needed a local web server for testing purposes.
I hope this helps someone.
i am new to laravel i just figured out how to install composer laravel etc etc on my local machine MAMP on windows , Now i am confuse with the command on terminal which is
C:\project>mysql -uroot -proot
'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How can i fix this ?
setting Environment will solve the issue
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click - Environment Variables
Go to- System Variables find PATH and click on it.
add the path to your mysql\bin folder to the end paths. (ex: E:\xampp\mysql\bin) and add ; end of the line
Close all the command prompts you opens.
Re open and try it.
Setting the PATH to point to the MYSQL bin folder is normally the first thought, but I find that dangerous as things get left lying around when you change software.
I normally create a little batch file in the projects folder or in a folder that it already on your PATH, like this
mysqlpath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\mysql\bin;%PATH%
mysql -v
The mysql -v will output the mysql version number but it is a handy way of knowing that the correct folder has been added to the PATH. This adds the folder to the PATH but only for the life of the command window.
Then just run this from any command window when you want to use MYSQL from the command line
> phppath
You may also like to create one for PHP as well
phppath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\php\;%PATH%
php -v
I'm trying to convert a SQL Server 2008 R2 database to SQL Server CE 4.
The only solution I can find is detailed here: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-use-exportsqlce-to-migrate-from.html.
However, I've downloaded the .exe and opened it - it just pops up with a command window which says something then immediately closes before I can read it; which I assume is just it installing.
However, if I then open a command prompt and type any of the instructions in that example and run e.g.
Export2sqlce "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=AdventureworksLT;Integrated Security=True" AW.sqlce
I just get "'Export2sqlce' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I needed to run the full path to the exe and the extension for it to work. Like this:
C:\Users\admin\Desktop\Export2SQLCE.exe "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True" Northwind.sql
For any command lin utility, you must either locate yourself to the folder where it resides, use the full path or place the file in a folder that is in the PATH environment variable.
