alright, i did that,but the ports still are not open, i am using this for a mysql server, it says, that the secrity setting could not be applied

 

what error no. is it? Is it 1045?

 

the very same

 

"Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'(using password:YES)"
Do you get that too?

 

yes I did.

 

By default there is no password set up for the root account. You are getting an error message that says you are using a password (that is the YES part, if you left out the password and it was required you would get the same error message with the word NO).

Try no password for the root user.
Leave out the password part and it'll work fine, it doesn't need any password while installing it.

 

Thanks Toshi, it worked fine.
