Re: can't connect to MySql server on 'localhost' <10061>

the solution to getting past the following error:

>InnoDB: Error: Log file .ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 10485760 bytes than specified in the .cnf file 0 >5242880 bytes!
>04122 17:22:59 [ERROR] can't init databases
>04122 17:22:59 [ERROR] Aborting

is in the my.ini or my.cnf file. It states:

# To run run the server from the command line, execute this in a
# command line shell, e.g.
# mysqld --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini"

don't forget to specify the path to your .ini/.cnf file. otherwise, mysqld seems to pick some sort of default that doesn't match the system setup
