Re: uninstall/reinstall

Tammie,

You might just try resetting the root password

Hope this helps,

You mention the Windows installer has Hung. I have seen this before...try k=
illing the process with task manager and then log into your server via the =
client.

RE: uninstall/reinstall

Thanks all -

The solution was to change the password for root, kill the installer
using task manager and start the server. I used the Workbench to manage
the database instance. It all seems to be working fine now.

Thanks
Tammie

I ran into a similar problem a few weeks ago. The solution, in my case,
was that you must first stop the MySQL process, uninstall with the
provided uninstall utility, then manually go through Program Files and
ProgramData (possibly a folder in your Users directory as well) to
delete all references to MySQL.

When the installer is run for the most current version of MySQL that
you've downloaded, it won't ask for the previous password and it will be
as if you're installing a fresh copy. If I remember correctly, you can
still do this now even after you've already uninstalling the original
version of MySQL. I should mention this was all done in Win7 64-bit;
you may need to modify folder names if you're on WinXP.

RE: uninstall/reinstall

Most helpful people of all time -

I have a student who uninstalled his mySQL and then reinstalled. When
the wizard gets to the point of starting the server, it sits there for a
couple of minutes and then the wizard has a message that it is not
responding. As suggested on the developer zone, he removed the
ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 and reconfigured only to have the same thing
happen. He has tried this several times in frustration. The first time,
it did try to start the server but couldn't. In trying to start the
server from the Services list, he gets Error 1067.

Oh, he also tried turning off the firewall to see if that made any
difference and it didn't.

Any assistance is welcome.

He did find that you can't really uninstall although he used the wizard
to remove the program and the uninstall programs.=20

Thanks,
Tammie

Re: uninstall/reinstall

We're talking about a Windows machine, right? I don't have any of
those these days but it sounds to me like it didn't thoroughly
uninstall.

If that much is correct, I'd first be suspicious of junk left in the
registry or data directories. Even if it meant I had to install it
again, I'd use a separate uninstaller. Uninstallers are usually a
little more aggressive about getting to the registry and data
directories and stuff of that nature. The one I used to use is free
and, in my experience, quite good.
Revo Uninstaller [
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_downloa d.html ]

If that doesn't do it, then I would try cleaning out the registry.
Proceed with all due caution because this potentially can create a
number of other other problems. In fact, some people are decidedly
against the use of any utility which claims to clean your registry.
So I'm just telling you how I used to roll, in my Windows heyday. My
preferred tool for this was also free and, in my experience, quite
good.
CCleaner [ http://www.piriform.com/download ]

Good luck!
