Seems like MySQL isn't running to happily.

Can you see if you can open and run MySQL commands from the command prompt ?

I'll try out the installer and see if I get the same problem.
Cheers.

Yeah its got something todo with the mysql service not running perhaps.

I've installed everything from scratch on a fresh install and it is working fine apart from a "dnssd.dll" not found message. I think thats unrelated and possibly the resullt of an old setup of something with phpide.

You should ensure that the MySQL process is running

If you used our installer..

Open a command prompt. go cd c:\lighthttpd\mysql\bin\

type mysql -u root

if it runs you can try some commands to make sure the schema is all loaded correctly..

show databases \g

mysql> show databases \g
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| ss_mysite |
| test |
+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

use ss_mysite \g
show tables \g

should return something like

mysql> show tables
-> \g

If you don't get those results then MYSQL or the schema has been setup wrong.

Something probably went wrong in the install, so you might have to try again.
