I'm looking for some of the tech gurus on the site for a little assistance. I had XAMPP installed on my computer and was using phpMyAdmin and SQL without problem. I downloaded and installed the MySQL Workbench 6.1 CE and it initially worked fine. After uninstalling XAMPP, the MySQL Workbench no longer works at all. You can see on the first screen shot that the server is stopped and I can't get it to start. Screen shot three shows the current server connections. The third and fourth screen shot shows that the program is looking to the path "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini ". Screen shot 5 shows that I don't have this directory. Could this be a left-over setting from the XAMPP install? If so, how do I change update that to the correct path now or could I be looking at a different problem?

Immediately disconnect all power cables and peripherals. Start bonfire in yard. Place all devices on fire. Open beer. Enjoy. It won't fix anything, but you'll feel a lot better. For at least a few hours.

Well, you uninstalled XAMPP... so you uninstalled mySQL. XAMPP = Apache, mySQL, PHP and Perl.
What are you actually trying to "do" with the setup? More than likely, you borked everything by uninstalling XAMPP and need to reinstall it. I don't know where you were saved your project files (hopefully on Git or similar), but the database is most likely gone as well, depending on what all you did. From the looks of it, you might be starting from scratch.

I'm actually just trying to teach myself SQL so I really didn't have anything solid under the XAMPP install. I know I got rid of the entire XAMPP package including MySQL but I've since done a clean re-install of MySQL Workbench and it's not allowing me to do anything. I had an older laptop with an older version of the MySQL workbench (never an XAMPP) install and it worked fine, shouldn't it work under a clean install as well?

MySQL Workbench is just an interface to interfere with the MySQL Server. You only have the interface, you need to install the MySQL Server.:thumbsup:

Good to know..haha. For some reason, the Oracle pages are just so overwhelming and finding the correct product/download seems a lot more cumbersome than it needs to be. I feel like navigating their site could be a learning topic all on its own!

I once tried subscribting to one of Oracle's services. I remember my boss making fun of me as it took sooooo long just for a subscription. I wish I never have to do that again.
