Instant Rails setup problems?
I'd like to try out Rails and have opted to install it via Instant Rails. I'm running IIS on my computer and a local dev copy of a PHP site running MySQL. (don't let that confuse you - i'm a beginner, especially when it comes to setting up webservers and databases). My problem isn't with Apache, which is surprising since I'm already running IIS. My problem is with MySql - I get the following error message: MySql: MySQL port (3306) is used by "" (mysqld-nt.exe)! Any help is greatly appreciated.

- It sounds like MySQL is already running on your system, and Instant Rails is trying to install another version to another location. Since MySQL is already running (and listening) on your system, another instance cannot. I suggest you uninstall the older version of MySQL already on your system. Or, you can simply look for mysqld-nt.exe in your task manager (ctrl-shift-esc) and terminate it, then attempt to install it again. Let me know if this helps, Ken
