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

I just have the same problem, just open the task manager, go to services tab and search MySQL_One service, rigth click and start, this works for very good.

Answer 2

First try:

net stop MySQL   
net start MySQL

If that does not work, try using the windows interface:

Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services

Look for your version of MySQL (In my case - MySQL55), highlight and click the green start arrow. The status should change to "Started"

Answer 3

open task manager, click in Service button and search MySql service, now you can stop and restart
