Fw: Cannot open mysql

The mysql.exe is only the console window for the server. First you must open
the mysqld.exe, the main server application.

When I attempt to open mysql.exe in the bin directory, I see a window flash
and then immediately close. When I originally ran the configuration, the
Apply Security Settings step would not run because my Personal Firewall did
not allow Port 3306. It has been opened but I believe this step was not
completed. I am only using this through SAMS Teach Yourself SQL and do need
access to any other PC than the one I have this downloaded on.

The window closes because you must specify parameters like username
for the console to work, else it will fail to authenticate and close,
the best way to open it is opennin a command line session first (Start
- Run - "command" at win9x or Start - Run - "cmd" on XP) browse to the
"bin" directory of your MySQL installation and run the console from
there, because this way the window won't close and you'll be able to
read the error message. You should use something like mysql
--user="
Jake is right, if you are not running MySQL as a service, you must run
the daemon (mysqld) first, so the server will listen to the 3306 port.
