Dear Sir/Madam

I have installed MySQL in c:\mysql direction on my Windows NT 5.0 machine and I have created the my.ini file in c:\winnt, with options for basedir and datadir but when I try to run MySQL, I get the following eror

Error 2003: Can't connect to MySQL Server on 'localhost' (10061)

By "run MySQL", it sounds as though you mean that you're running one of the client programs such as mysql. Have you started the server first?

Are you MySQL certified? http://www.mysql.com/certification/
