[edit] Troubleshooting.When things go wrong.Page 2
Ok, so MySQL started in config mode.In case you're having problems you might see something like this:
Maybe a bit different than mine because I actually stopped the server in order to take the screenshot so you won't be seing the same messages in the Log area.
This is the best case I would say, usually to make things allright again, all you need to do is press the "start service" button.
In other cases tough, it happens that the MySQL service hasn't been installed correctly and you will get an error message along the lines of "No Service selected".In this case I would suggest installing everything once again or :
going to Start -> All Programs -> MySQL -> MySQL Server 5.0 -> MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard to restart the configuration wizard that you saw when you initially tried to install MySQL.Make sure you do everything right this time so things don't get messed up again.
Also, if you'd rather wait a bit more before having to resort to reinstalling, verify that both the MySQL server and Administrator use root with no pass associated and localhost as the host name.If settings are different for these 2, this could very well be the cause of your problems.
Alternatively, check your Network area settings to match what I have in the picture below:
