[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.15.1 on Vista Home Premium Edition install error

[cknell at onebox.com]

I have a command-line program for interacting with MySQL running at the moment. I am able to connect to the instance of MySQL and query the database. In the world of Windows a "service" has a particular connotation. Is your question, "Do you have MySQL installed as a Windows service, and is it running?", or is it more general as I describe in my first two sentences?

Maybe a silly question, but do you have MySQL actually running? It is
a separate service, that needs to be running before you can access it.
