将 MySQL 服务器作为服务启动 (Win 8)

I am trying out MySQL (Windows 8), with the workbench (gui) installed as well.

I am still in the installation / configuration process. I would like to create a new database. So, on the workbench's welcome screen, I have selected New Server Instance- Register a new Server instance to manage.

In order to do this, I have went through following configuration steps:

1. Specify localhost as server host,

2. Give it the username and password I am using.

It then tests a database connection, and, in the next step, asks me to

Select the Service to manage from the list below. It will also help find the configuration file.

However, the list of possible Services is empty and if I click [next], it says

Error: In Order to manage a MySQL Service it must be installed as a Service. The wizard can not find any MySQL Service at the target machine, so the Server instance cannot be started.

I think that I have to somehow start the MySQL Service, as it might already been installed when I had installed the whole MySQL Toolset.

So: How would I start this MySQL Service under Windows 8?

Some things I've tried:

The Manual says to try:

C:> "C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.1inmysqld"

in order to install it as a Service. Yet, nothing happens and I get the following (some verbose [Note]s were removed):

To install the server as a service, I've used this command (per the manual).

C:> "C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.1inmysqld" --install

Again, "nothing" happens, I get (again, most of the verbose [Note]s are removed):

Install/Remove of the Service Denied!

解决方案

Type cmd in start and right click and Run as administrator,

then paste the below text in your command prompt,

"C:Program Files (x86)MySQLMySQL Server 5.1inmysqld" --install

If you don't run cmd as Administrator, you'll see Install/Remove of service denied.,

So run the elevated command prompt(Start->cmd->Run as Administrator) to see the Service Successfully installed message.

Note: This is even if you have logged in as administrator in windows 7/8.

If u want to uninstall the service do the following, copy paste the following in command prompt(again elevated command prompt) run this,

sc delete MySQL

Here MySQL in the command is the service name mysql creates by default in Windows PC. Make sure you see the service is installed in the Services List(Task Manager -> Services Tab -> Check the Mysql service Name column).
