The reason I need this link is because
Whenever I try to get into my db by using the MySQL.bat file or through the command prompt (cd \mysql\bin then mysql -u root mysql) it gives me this:
(used the command prompt here cause MySQL.bat just opens, then beep and poof)
Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Sean>cd \mysql\bin
C:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root mysql
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
C:\mysql\bin>
I have tried starting winmysqladmin.exe and it starts up and hides itself with the stop light with a red light (before it would be green). I go down to it and right-click, Win NT >, click "Start the Service", it says "Start the Service Manager for the MySQL Server" Yes/No/Cancel, click Yes, it says "Fails to start the Service. Please wait 30 seconds to try again."
Anyone know what the problem is? Help please
