I am developing a website and need to refresh data. Therefore MySQL must be stopped.
How can I stop the service?
When I look at control panel services it is started without stop or restart option.
On Windows
If you are using windows Open the Command Prompt and type
To Stop MySQL Service
net stop MySQL
To Start MySQL Service
net start MySQL.
On Linux
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Fedora / Red Hat also support this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
# service mysqld start
# service mysqld stop
# service mysqld restart
I know this answer is late but i hope it helps for some one.
You can set its startup type to manual in services.msc. This way it will not start automatically unless required. Simply get the name of the service from services.msc as shown here:
You can create batch files to start and stop the service fairly easily as well. Now use this name in batch files.
Your start.bat:
net start "mysql"
And in your stop.bat:
net stop "mysql"
The Top Voted Answer is out of date. I just installed MySQL 5.7 and the service name is now MySQL57 so the new command is
net stop MySQL57
For Windows there's a couple of tricks to take care of...
(Assuming you've installed MySQL from Oracle's site but maybe have chosen not to run the service at startup)...
To use "mysqld stop" from the command line for WinVista/Win7 you must right click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt -> Run As Administrator
Now that you have local OS admin access you can use "mysqld stop" (which will simply return)
IF YOU SEE THE FOLLOWING YOU ARE TRYING IT WITH A USER/COMMAND PROMPT THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PRIVILEGES:

If mysqld does not appear as a known system command, try adding it to your class path
- Right click on My Computer
- Advanced System Settings
- Environment Variables
- System variables
- look for and left click select the variable named path
click on "Edit" and copy out the string to notepad and append at the end the full path to your MySQL bin directory , e.g.
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin
net stop MySQL*
or
mysqld stop
or
mysql stop
in the window's command line prompt.
<*> if you're using windows XP, you need the name of your service, which can be obtained doing this: (credits @Atli)
right click the "My Computer" shortcut in the Start menu, select "Manage", click "Services" in the "Services and applications" group. And then search the list of services until you find the MySQL service.
Then you can start [or stop] the service by using that name. It is can sometimes be called "mysql5" or "mysql51", or something like that. Depends on who installed it.
Start Powershell as administrator and run:
net start [MySQL-service-name]
Find the service name:
run 'services.msc', look for MySQL and click on properties
I'm on XP. I've installed MySQL-5.6.10 manually from .zip, no Windows auto-installer provided by MySQL site. The /bin directory of my MySQL is in my PATH. So I start the server with mysqld --console command, like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>mysqld --console
2013-04-12 14:39:19 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated. Please use --explicit_defaults_for_times
tamp server option (see documentation for more details).
From now on it is running. And that cmd window is occupied. I open and use another one.
I've tried to use the answers from above but none of them can stop the server. Only errors are throw. So I stop the server with mysqladmin -u root shutdown on the other cmd window or with Ctrl + C on the cmd window it is running in. The latter works not so good as the former, sometimes I have to click Ctrl + C twice or more.
The log of the shutdown process is like this:

And I still don't know if it is 100% right way to shutdown the server, but it works :)
to stop the service:
sc stop mysql56
and to start it:
sc start mysql56
you might need to change the mysql56 to whatever your version is.
If MySQL 57.
net start MySQL57
OR
net stop MySQL57
Easy way to shutdown mySQL server for Windows7 :
My Computer > Manage > Services and Application > Services > select "MySQL 56"(the name depends upon the version of MySQL installed.) three options are present at left top corner. Stop the Service pause the Service Restart the Service
choose Stop the service > to stop the server
Again to start you can come to the same location or we can chose tools options on mySQL GUI Server > Startup/Shutdown > Choose to Startup or Shutdown
PS: some times it is not possible to stop the server from the GUI even though the options are provided. so is the reason the above alternative method is provided.
share the ans. to improve. thanks
just type exit
and u are out of mysql in cmd in windows
If you are running windows try this:
- click start button on a keyboard
- type task manager
- right click and click run as administrator when the task manager opens
- click on services then look for MySQL then
- right click on it then click stop then close task manager and you are done.
to start it when you wand to use it, follow the same steps and click start this time
I got the same problem and here my solution:
- go to service.msc and find mysql service. set it as start manually.
- go to task manager - processes tab and find mysqld. stop it
- go to task manager - services tab find mysql service and stop it
