Is MySQL/Wamp (or what you use) on autostart?

Check if your router IP is changing on restart of the computer.

[Nubbadon]

I had both server and Wamp up yesterday and it worked perfectly...

Nah man my router dont change IP when i restart, anyways i'm using Hamachi lol...

[b!atch]

I would help you, But i cant if ur using hamachi. Never touched the program and never will. Its damaging the emulation community xE


Btw. The reason im not helping u is becouse idk anything about hamachi. Not just becouse i h8 it:P

[Nubbadon]

Yeah i know Hamachi suck ass. But the reason why i use it is because when i open my ports my net screws it self -.-"

Anyway I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with Hamachi. I had this problem before but i dont remember what i did to fix it -.-"

I run windows vista yeah. I have a rly annoying Antivirus program ( MacAfee )

I'll check if it blocks MySQL... My Windows Fire Wall isnt on.

[Nubbadon]

Nope turning off the firewall in MacAfee didnt work either....

hmm, checked windows defender too? its normally installed hidden in vista.
i had to add my own mysql manually in it cause it thought it was a spyware lol

Make a backup of your databases and try reinstalling your mysql.
Maybe its corrupt or something.

i have that problem to im running vista can someone help?

umm i dont really know whats wrong with your MySQL but below are a few simple things u need to know about MySQL.....

1. To change passwords on MySQL, depending on where your mysql is installed......

C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password <insert password here>

2. If u have your "root" or "user" password all set? and still cant connect? check your user privilages on mysql... a simple but common mistake is the hosts allowed.... some have it at localhost, some from a desired ip.... but if u want it to connect from any host replace it with a "%" this will allow you to connect from any host. ( BE VERY CAREFUL HERE, if you loose your password its VERY HACKABLE ) ehehe hopes this helps you out.
