Sam 2 Problem - MySql Database

[H0BJ0B]

Hey Guys,
I've had this Sam 2 problem a while and I only had to uninstall because of yet another problem. First, I wanna sort this MySql one out and then I'll move onto the first problem. So... I try to install, but I get this:

> License accepted.
> Install path: C:\Program Files\SpacialAudio\SAM2\1\
> MySQL detected. Installed at C:\mysql\
> MySQL already configured to start as a service/startup item
> Windows Media support already installed.
> Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Thanks,
Anyone help?

your config might be wrong..

Make sure your MySQL has been installed and started. If it is, then theres a problem with your host files. In the MySQL config, change the IP from localhost to 127.0.0.1

To start MySQL, this should work (if it doesn't then you gotta go to the computers services file and do a load of complicated stuff, which I can tell you at last resort...):

Control + Alt + Delete (Task Manager) > Proccesses Tab > File > New Task (Run...) > Type: mysqld-nt.exe > OK.

That should start it...

Hope I've helped, if I have, rep is loved.

Starting MySQL can also be done:

Start > Run... > cmd > net start mysql

It says it can't connect, so check any firewalls arnt preventing it from connecting, if you can't tell, try disabling them. Although remember to enable them again later

Where? How dod I do that? You mean when installing Sam? if so, tried. if not, how?

if it didn't work when installing sam then it isn't a problem with your hosts. try installing with the other one, firebird or something?

also, mysql may be blocked by your firewall or the computer administrator.
