restart mysql server on windows 7

Question

How do I restart MySQL on Windows 7?

I\'m using HeidiSql as a front end and there\'s no option in there.

The only other things I have is the MySQL 5.5 comma

Answer 1

Open the command prompt and enter the following commands:

net stop MySQL   
net start MySQL

the MySQL service name maybe changes based on the version you installed. In my situation, MySQL version is MySQL Server 5.7. So I use the following command

net stop MySQL57   
net start MySQL57

Answer 2

In order to prevent 'Access Denied' error:

Start -> search 'Services' -> right click -> Run as admistrator

Answer 3

These suggestions so far only work if the mysql server is installed as a windows service.

If it is not installed as a service, you can start the server by using the Windows Start button ==> Run, then browse to the /bin folder under your mysql installation path and execute mysqld. Or just open a command window in the bin folder and type: mysqld

Answer 4

In Windows,

• Open Run Window by Win+R
• Type services.msc
• Search MySQL service (Sometimes found as MySQL56 or MySQL57) based on version installed.
• Click stop, start or restart the service option.

Answer 5

use net stop mysql57 instead, it should be the version that is not specified

Answer 6
