I was able to start the server yesterday but not today. I'm running this in the cmd prompt. Nothing happens.
cd C:\Users\Tina\Desktop\java\MySQL\mysql-5.5.21-winx64\bin
mysqld –console
I get "ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" when I run this in the cmd prompt.
mysql -u root
How do I start the server?

I think personal firewall is running on your machine. Please make sure you have opened the TCP port 3306 for connections.
