I can’t remember for sure, but you may indeed have to try it as a service – I have a memory of this, but I no longer use the tool so can’t really remember.

Thanks for this post, it’s really great.
Just a quick note:
I’m using XAMPP lite 1.7.3 on Window XP SP3
I have to click Svc check box infront of MySql in the XAMPP control to be able to create a new server instance in MySQL WB.

After you register service with name “MySQL”, following commands work just fine – tested with custom installed MySQL 5.5 under XAMPP:

Start: sc start MySQL
Stop: sc stop MySQL
Status: sc query MySQL | wba_filter(RUNNING)

Following the gist of the tutorial, I am using 5.2.29.CE, while I can connect and run SQL queries on the server, it detects the server as being offline. Very weird

Thanks for the main tutorial and your tip Pedro, works fine now although stopping via xampp causes a little problem for the workbench

Xampp have two scripts for start and stop mysql, this option work fine in xampp 1.7.3

c:\xampp\mysql_start.bat
c:\xampp\mysql_stop.bat

For check status i use c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root ping

I hope it will help you

They appear to have changed the my.cnf to my.ini within the MySQL/bin/my.ini part of the install, so I used:

Start: c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld –defaults-file=c:\stuff\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini –standalone –console
Stop: c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root –password= shutdown
Status: c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root –password= ping

Seems to work ok, had a little trouble getting the apache service to restart, but it did in the end
