HI,
We are getting the error above all of a sudden when trying to connect to an instance of mysql to run mysqlcheck -r. The mysql relates to a web based reporting system that has up until now been working ok. No changes have been made to the hardware or software and we usually just leave it alone. I wanted to run mysqlcheck -r but got the error above. I have been able to run the repair utility before (quite some time ago) and let it repair some tables but it won't run any of the utilities in the bin folder now -just gives me that error. I suspect corruption here but not sure. Interestingly, I can run the web based reporting facility on the web server pc itself and it pulls data -but can't do it from any other pc on the network(can ping it ok) -and - I also cannot run the mysqlcheck - r or any other mysql utility on the webserver pc (but yet I can pull data using the reporting system?)
I tried a gui (mysqltools) but it also fails to connect -not sure which way to go now - any ideas?
thanks

Well for the administrator tool are you sure you used the correct port to connect to the db? What error are you getting from other computers in the network when you try to connect. What type of webserver is it Apache or IIS? The mysql problem sounds like a port issue the connecting only locally to the website could be for alot of reasons depending on size of network and devices running on it. Could be another webserver using the same port could be a problem with the webserver software ect..

Hi,
If you use XAMPP, try uninstalling it and try connecting again. It may be causing problems. If your problem is still not solved, here is what i have found about this problem on mysql forums:
"
Run->CMD
under C:\mysql\bin type winmysqladmin.exe, which will reset default values for your installation.
In the console; uncomment port 3306 by removing the pound sign (#port 3306).
Then save the changes. Go to a new dos promt and run "mysqld", then "mysqlshow".
"
If still not solved check your firewall settings if you have a rule to block requests for "mysqld-nt.exe"
I hope you solve it.
