MySQL installation error

[mysterio2099]

I am trying to install MySQL 3.23.58 (I tried with 4.0.20 as well) on a Windows 2000 system.

Problem: When I get 40% into the self-installation, it throws up an error saying something like, "Error during the file move -103" (I saw -132 also).

I have PHP 4.3.8 installed at the moment.

Any idea how to fix this problem?

PS-I have no experience with MySQL or PHP.

I have quite a bit of experience with both MySQL and PHP, and i have never had any trouble installing.

You've probably tried this, but... uninstall MySQL, and remove any files you've created for PHP.

Here's a guide to installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP (known as WAMP (on windows)):


REQUIRED FILES
--------------

[APACHE WEB SERVER -- 1.3.27]
[PHP -- 4.3.2]
[MYSQL -- 4.0.13]

STEP 1.

INSTALLING APACHE
=================

1. DOUBLE CLICK THE APACHE FILE TO EXECUTE IT.
2. THE FOLLOWING SCREENS ARE SELF-EXPLANATORY, ACCEPT THE LICENSE ETC...
3. IN THE METHOD TO RUN AS SCREEN SELECT THE RUN IN CONSOLE OPTION.
4. IN THE AREA FOR ENTERING HOST, SERVER NAME ETC ENTER THE FOLLOWING: "localhost", "127.0.0.1" and "your@email.com" (WITHOUT THE ""'S)
5. ON INSTALLATION COMPLETION RUN APACHE BY GOING TO (IT MAY VARY BY OS): "START ~> PROGRAMS ~> APACHE HTTP SERVER ~> START APACHE IN CONSOLE".
6. TO SEE IF APACHE IS IN FACT WORKING CORRECTLY, OPEN UP A BROWSER AND GOTO EITHER "HTTP://LOCALHOST" OR "HTTP://127.0.0.1". IF YOU SEE THE APACHE
START PAGE THEN INSTALLATION WAS SUCCESSFUL, IF NOT PLEASE REVIEW THE ABOVE AND MAKE SURE YOU DID EXACTLY AS SPECIFIED.

INSTALLING PHP
==============

1. UNZIP THE FOLDER TO THE DESKTOP OR ELSEWEHER IF YOU PREFER. REMEMBER THE LOCATION THOUGH.
2. RENAME THE FOLDER TO "PHP" FROM WHATEVER IT IS NAME AFTER UNZIPPING.
3. MOVE THE NEWLY RENAMED "PHP" DIRECTORY TO YOUR MAIN DRIVE; "C:\" FOR EXAMPLE.
4. OPEN UP THE DIRECTORY "C:/PHP" OR WHATEVER YOU HAVE IT AS.
5. MOVE THE "php4ts.dll" FILE TO THE WINDOWS SYSTEM DIRECTORY; "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" (IT MAY BE HIDDEN, IF YOU CANNOT SEE IT
GOTO "TOOLS ~> FOLDER OPTIONS ~> CLICK THE VIEW TAB AND LOOK FOR HIDDEN FILES, SELECT SHOW ALL FILES AND THEN OK").
6. NOW OPEN THE FILE "php.ini-recommended" WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE "\PHP" DIRECTORY IN A TEXT EDITOR (NOTEPAD IS GOOD).

* NOTE: These next steps involve the php.ini-recommended file. *
7. FIND THE LINE "extension_dir =". EDIT THIS SO IT READS: extension_dir = "C:\php\extensions\" (ALTER FOR YOUR DRIVE IF NEEDED)
8. FIND THIS LINE: "; cgi.force_redirect". EDIT THIS SO IT READS: "cgi.force_redirect = 1".
9. ONCE THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE, SAVE THE FILE AS "php.ini" AND MOVE IT TO THE "C:\WINDOWS" DIRECTORY. (ALTER FOR YOUR NEEDS).

APACHE MEETS PHP AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER??!! (WELL HOPEFULLY
========================================================================
* NOTE: These next steps involve the httpd.conf file. *
1. OPEN UP THE FILE "httpd.conf" IN YOUR TEXT EDITOR OR BY GOING TO "START ~> PROGRAMS ~> APACHE HTTP SERVER ~> CONFIGURE APACHE... ~>
EDIT THE APACHE httpd.conf...".
2. FIND THE LINE: "#LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so". AFTER THAT LINE PRESS ENTER/RETURN AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING:
"LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll".
3. FIND THE LINE: "AddModule mod_setenvif.c". AFTER THAT LINE PRESS ENTER/RETURN AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING: "AddModule mod_php4.c".
4. FIND THE LINE: "AddType image/x-icon .ico". AFTER THAT LINE PRESS ENTER/RETURN AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING: "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php"
AND ENTER/RETURN AGAIN AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING "AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps ".
5. SAVE THE FILE AND RESTART APACHE BY CLOSING IT IF OPEN BY EITHER, CLICKING THE "X" OR PRESS CTRL + C (RECOMMENDED METHOD) AND THEN GOING TO
START ~> PROGRAMS ~> APACHE HTTP SERVER ~> START APACHE IN CONSOLE".
6. IF SUCCESFUL YOU WILL SEE A MESSAGE LIKE "Apache/1.3.27 PHP/4.3.2 running...".IF NOT THEN PLEASE REVIEW THE ABOVE.

TESTING PHP IS FULLY WORKING ON YOUR CONFIGURATION
==================================================

1. OPEN UP YOUR TEXT EDITOR AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING ONLY: "" AND SAVE AS "phpinfo.php" IN THE "htdocs" DIRECTORY
OF THE APACHE GROUP DIRECTORY (EXAMPLE: "c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\").
2. NOW OPEN YOUR BROWSER AND ENTER "http://localhost/phpinfo.php".
3. IF SUCCESSFUL YOU WILL SEE A PAGE FULL OF INFO WITH LILAC TABLES HOLDING THE INFORMATION. IF NOT THE YOU WILL HAVE TO REVIEW THE ABOVE
AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL WAS FOLLOWED.

INSTALLING MYSQL
================

1. UNZIP THE ZIP FILE DOWNLOADED OR JUST EXECUTE IT VIA THE ZIP BY USING THE .EXE WITH THE COMPUTER ICON.
2. READ THE GENERAL INFO AND THEN CLICK NEXT. SELECT A LOCATION TO INSTALL TO ("C:\mysql" <~ RECOMMENDED).
3. SELECT "Typical" INSTALLATION AND CLICK NEXT.

Ok... during the step to get Apache working with PHP didn't go so well...the steps with "addmodule" could not be done because these lines are not in my httpd.conf file.

I have Apache 2.0.50

GOT IT! I worked with it a bit, and with some help from a local friend, we got it working. You put me on the right track though. Thanks.
