I'm trying to install MySQL Server 5.7.7 on Windows Server 2008 machine. It has failed several times and I tried uninstalling the whole thing and try the installation again. I tried installing one component at a time and it worked for all the components (Workbench, connectors,..etc.) except for the MySQL Server itself.
I'm receiving error at the step "Writing configuration file", the log shows the error details below:
Beginning configuration step: Writing configuration file
Could not find a part of the path 'C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini'.
Ended configuration step: Writing configuration file
i had the same problem. to solve it, i simply created the "MySQL Server 5.7" folder in "C:\ProgramData\MySQL" then clicked Retry in the installer
i've had bad experiences with MySQL installers in the past. really surprised it's not smart enough (or too lazy?) to create the sub folders before trying to write the ini file.
hope that helps!

I had mySQL workbench working fine a few weeks ago. Now, any time I log in, I get no connection. Upon inspecting Sever Status, it is showing Stopped. Also, under the Server Directories, it says Unable to Retrieve next to Disk Space in Data Dir.
I also noticed that the configuration file was wrong, or outdated? The Configuration File originally read:
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\my.ini
But I looked and there was no MySQL Server 5.5 file in my directory. I do have a MySQL Server 8.0 folder, so I changed the Configuration File to:
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\my.ini
However, this fails to solve the problem. I've also attempted to run Services from the Start Menu, right click on MYSQL80, and choose start - and it says the service has Started then stopped.
I'm not even sure this missing or mis-directed file is the issue, or whether it's the Unable to Retrieve Disk error (or both are causing the server to fail). I recently changed my login password for my computer - but I doubt that is related to the login credentials for MySQL, right? (I see MYSQL80 properties has password for 'log on' option, but I have no idea what this password even is, or how to change it).
I've also read about this problem online and cannot seem to find an answer that solves the issue. I've tried running MySQL Workbench as an admin too, and that doesn't work either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a way to get the server up and running again without a bunch of complicated command line? I appear to have mysqld.exe in the bin file in MySQL 8.0
Thanks all in advance!
In MySql Workbench Server -> Startup/ShutDown -> Start Server.
This Worked for me.
When the my.ini file is messed up I think the best solution is a total uninstall/delete and manual install. Before you do any of the following make sure you go to your current data dir and save your database folders. Then dlete all of your current MySQL related directories and uninstall MySQL and MySQL workbench.
I had this problem when I installed MySQL 8.0.15 with the community installer. The my.ini file that came with the installer did not work correctly after it had been edited. I did a full manual install by downloading that zip folder. I was able to create my own my.ini file containing only the parameters that I was concerned about and it worked.
download zip file from MySQL website
unpack the folder into C:\program files\MySQL\MySQL8.0
within the MySQL8.0 folder that you unpacked the zip folder into, create a text file and save it as my.ini
include the parameters in that my.ini file that you are concerned about. so something like this(just ensure that there is already a folder created for the datadir or else initialization won't work):
[mysqld]
basedire=C:\program files\MySQL\MySQL8.0
datadir=D:\MySQL\Data
....continue with whatever parameters you want to include
initialize the data directory by running these two commands in the command prompt:
cd C:\program files\MySQL\MySQL8.0\bin
mysqld --default-file=C:\program files\MySQL\MySQL8.0\my.ini --initialize
install the MySQL server as a service by running these two commands:
cd C:\program files\MySQL\MySQL8.0\bin
mysqld --install --default-file=C:\program files\MySQL\MySQL8.0\my.ini
finally, start the server for the first time by running these two commands:
cd C:\program files\MySQL\MySQL8.0\bin
mysqld --console
I need to use both the XAMPP MySQL module and a seperate MySQL server for personal reasons. I run Windows 7 64-bit and I use MySQL 5.7.16 and XAMPP v5.6.24.
I have tried changing the port that the XAMPP MySQL module uses in the XAMPP control panel configurations, in the my.ini file, in the php.ini file, and in the config.inc.php file. When I click "Start" for the MySQL module in the XAMPP control panel, I get a message that says "[mysql] Attempting to start MySQL service..." but it never gets beyond that. It doesn't even give me an error message.
For now, I have to uninstall the MySQL server and wipe it completely from my computer every time I want to use the XAMPP module. This is proving to be a pretty daunting task, though. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My problem is that windows services don't have MySQL Server. How to run it?
I need to run MySQL Server on a new for me laptop. There's Windows 7. And MySQL have been installed on it. In order to verify this, I opened the Programs and Features window and saw it there:
But when I go to the Services to run it, I don't find it. It's absent there:
It's very strange for me. Why MySQL is not among the services? How can I run it? It's installed on this station.
Try performing the following steps and then check again.
Start Command Prompt (cmd)
Go to the "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin"
type mysqld --install
In my case I installed it through XAMPP so I do not have it among windows services (it has it´s own control panel), but I found this document that may help you solve this problem:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-start-service.html
Also check the error log file which shows specific information about the start and stop of the service. In my case is called mysql_error.log and it is located under the '...mysql\data\' folder. Another document talking about that:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/error-log.html
Please don't post this question as duplicate. I am trying to configure mysql for about 3 weeks now. Someone should really help me.
I recently installed MySQL 5.1 in a Lenovo laptop to do my project. The laptop is running on Windows 8.
The installation was fine but when I tried to configure MySQL it worked till the last page.
There am getting Error Nr 2003.
I tried it through the command prompt, through services in the control panel. But the problem is that the mysql service is not starting at all. Why it is not starting ? What will be blocking it from starting ?
First you need to start mysql service it is the problem for this above
error.
In case you cant start mysql service means you need to install mysql service.
Steps for install mysql service
Step 1: open command prompt and go to the mysql installed location (for example c:\Program Fiels\MYSQL\Mysql Server5.0\bin\)
Step 2: mysql --install
Step 3: start mysql service using the command NET START MYSQL command
then connect mysql using username and password.
Assuming the service is already running and you still get this error connecting to the localhost using the mysql client, then make sure you have an entry for "localhost" in your hosts file. This was the case I experienced.
I resolved this situation following the following process. After adding the MySQL path to the environment, I kept invoking the program and then checking Event Viewer in the Application Log for MySQL errors that referenced old commands in the ini file. After removing them, what was hanging me up was that the installer was looking for errmsg.sys in a folder that didn't exist, \bin\share. Those folders DO exist, but on the same level, not nested. So I added the folder share to bin and copied errmsg.sys from share to the new nested share, and it worked.
Now that its running, I intend to redo a proper configuration using the workbench, just to gets my ducks in a row.

Go to Run type services.msc. Check whether MySQL services is running or not. If not, start it manually. Once it started, type mysqlshow to test the service.
I am trying to run MySql 5.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I have downloaded the MSI installer from the MYSql website and installed it. The installation is successful, but the service does not start.
If I try to run MySql manually using the mysqld executable, it crashes immediately on running (error: mysqld.exe has stopped working).
Earlier mysql was running on the machine, but I had some problem with it (wasn't executing big queries) and installed it again which somehow broke the program. I had installed it to work as a service which started giving me this isse, and now it won't work even if I don't install it as a service.
I have tried removing the mysql folder and re-installing. Is there somewhere else where Mysql saves configuration info or other data?
Has anyone else found this problem and solved it?
How can I find out why the process is failing to run?
Or you can try and run the mysqld.exe as administrator.
See the Debugging a MySQL Server in your MySQL reference manual.
download the noinstall (zip archive) version of MySQL corresponding exactly to the version that is already installed on your system
extract the .pdb symbols files to your existing MySQL installation's bin directory
start Dr. Watson
start mysqld-debug in standalone mode
capture the list of all moduled (i.e. loaded DLLs) with their full path from DrWatson
capture the stack trace from DrWatson
examine the MySQL log files (including mysqld.trace) to see what went on immediately prior to the crash
