Can't connect to MySql server on localhost (2003)(10061)

[steelzord]

TFS 1.1, Windows 8.1 64x, xampp 1.7.4 (too classic, too old?) , I can't seem to be able to get any OT to start. In services, MySQL is running. When i try to install mysql from mysql_installservice.bat, i get the following message:

The system cannot find the file specified.
Install/Remove of the Service Denied!

Try to stary the MySQL deamon as service...
The service name is invalid.

I have also seen it saying that the service can't be installed (no reason given), although I could still see mysql service running in task manager.

The other weird problem is that I can't get to the character's list on tibia 10.77. When i attempt to log in on tibia 8.6, it says that only 10.77 protocol is allowed! How come I can't get any response from 10.77 client?

I think I have encountered too many problems at once. I'd love to be able to run an OT on my pc.

Tbh, I'd go with this server if you want the client to be 8.6. https://otland.net/threads/8-60-the-forgotten-server-1-2.236489/ And I should use Uniserver as most of the tutorials on here use Uniserver instead of xampp.

If you don't understand something just ask.

So, I should start over with the link I told you.

I am trying Uniserver now and I get exactly the same problem:

The issues the op is having has little to do with the server emulator and have a lot to do with the operating system.

Make sure you've granted all privileges on the user to the database;

and make sure your MySql connection details are right in config.lua and config.php.

How does this has to do with his Operating system?

If you need to set permissions on a windows operating system then it is an operating system issue.

Try to stop the mysql service process in task manager and then start mysql in uniserver again.

Seems like you are not providing a password
