hi,
I installed my SQL version 4.1.22 to windows vista. After installation i try to start mysql using following command :

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin>mysqld-max-nt --standalone

I took the following error

Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Invalid argument
071207 22:50:57 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on por
t: 3306 ?
071207 22:50:57 [ERROR] Aborting

071207 22:50:57 [Note] mysqld-max-nt: Shutdown complete

Then on windows task manager I stopped MySQL .
After that I tried to run mysqld-max-nt --standalone comande again

this time it doesn't give any error message, command propt was shown

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin>mysqld-max-nt --standalone

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin>

then I try to run mysl command. This time, it gives me this error

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin>mysql
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

when I shearched about this error, one of the solution said that to enter
"mysql --defaults=file="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini" -u root -p"

But when I enter this command it gave me File name, folder name or syntax error.
I controlled many times. Everything seems okay. But I cannot solve the problem. Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thank you
