Yesterday I was upgrading some programs on my home laptop and realized I had an old version of MySQL, 5.1. The current version is 5.6. The 5.1 version of MySQL was installed when I used Microsoft\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Web Platform Installer to install a test WordPress blog. This is a really easy way to checkout software when it works so I set out to upgrade MySQL to the latest version. Surprisingly there is no way to upgrade or remove MySQL using the Web Platform Installer. So I downloaded the community upgrade from www.mysql.com<\/a> and ran the upgrade. It did not work. I kept getting an unhandled exception error message during the upgrade. Since I did not have any important information in the data base I uninstalled the current version and installed the 5.6 version. Now MySQL is working but I kept getting password errors when I tried to install a new blog using either the Web Platform Installer or Microsoft\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s WebMatrix. So I did a complete MySQL reinstall using these instructions<\/a> for Windows 7 from serverfault.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Uninstall MySQL using the uninstaller. <\/li>\n
  2. Delete C:\\Program Files\\MySQL <\/li>\n
  3. Delete C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MySQL <\/li>\n
  4. Delete C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL <\/li>\n
  5. Delete from any Users’ AppData folders. Example: C:\\Users\\rdoverby\\AppData\\Roaming\\MySQL <\/li>\n
  6. Reinstall MySQL <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This did not fix my problems with Web Platform Installer or WebMatrix. Since I had phpMyAdmin<\/a> working under IIS and a working version of MySQL, I opted to try \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Famous 5-Minute Installation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I copied an old WordPress installation to a new folder, followed the instructions, and in about five minutes I had a new WordPress blog working on my laptop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
