Okay, so every single time i attempt to open the mysql that comes with AC Web Repack 7.8 i come into contact with this problem. I have searched the forums and to no avail, no answers. =[

It's easy to fix, You obviously have another MySQL process up and running,
Here's what you do;

Press CTRL - ALT - DEL
Press the "Process" tab
Search for "mysqld-nt" <- Or something similiar
End the process,
Try to start it again.

Hm, wierd.
You might wanna' try to restart the computer and check,

If that's ain't working, then I don't know.

When i first started i had same issue.
Try this:

Go into your server directory IE: C:\AC Web Ultimate Repack\Server

Now execute or start mysql_stop.bat

Then Re-Start using MySQL.bat from same directory

That should clear the previous service to allow new service

Then Launch arcemu-world.exe and arcemu-logonserver.exe from Ascent Directory.

(P.S. After shutting down your server always use mysql_stop.bat to terminate the service. If you dont you'll have this problem everytime.)

@ Babbaa
I don't think you can end the process via Task Manager because if you install correctly it isn't installed as windows service.

Thanks for the quick responses guys but still the same problem comes up. I just finished restarting my computer and i tried once again but still with no success. I also tried doing Smlwrnc's method but still no success. =[.

How did you setup MySQL?

[nadahoe]

I ran the mysql_installservice that comes with the AC Web repack. Yes i do have Mysql 5.0 installed on my computer.

[Devilsadvocate]

Try this goto "Start" - All Programs - MySQL - Mysql Server 5.0 - MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard.

Click "Next"

Now see if you have an option to remove current Instances. Reply and i'll explain rest.

[nadahoe]

I have that option.

[Devilsadvocate]

ok select that and let it remove then close the configuration wizard

now go back and execute the mysql_installservice you just spoke of.

[nadahoe]

okay done.

Edit: Now it comes up as:

[Devilsadvocate]

Um Ok read below then

[Devilsadvocate]

Ok now go back to your MySQL under start and open back up Configuration wizard.

Click Standard Configuration then select next

The "Install As Windows Service" box should be checked -- UNCHECK it then select next

then select execute

now go back and execute the mysql_installservice and see what that gives u

[nadahoe]
