mysql is not recognised as an internal or external

问题:

I had set the MySQL path, but still getting the same error. Please let me know whether I followed the correct one or not.

MySQL location is: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin

In Windows, system variables I had set the path as:

• variable name: MYSQL_HOME
• variable value: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin

For PATH setting:

• variable name: PATH
• variable value: .;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%MYSQL_HOME%\bin...

If it is not the correct one, please let me know the correct path and its settings.

回答1:

MYSQL_HOME variable value:C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin %MYSQL_HOME%\bin

See the problem? This resolves to a path of C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\bin

回答2:

Simply type in command prompt :

set path=%PATH%;D:\xampp\mysql\bin;

Here my path started from D so I used D: , you can use C: or E:

回答3:

MYSQL_HOME:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0

Path:

%MYSQL_HOME%\bin;

In my case, it turned out to be a simple case of spacing.

Turns out, i had a space inserted after the last ; and before ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7" For this very simple reason, no matter what i did, MySql was still not being recognized.

Once i eliminated the spaces before and after path, it worked perfectly.

In retrospect, seems like a very obvious answer, but nobody's mentioned it anywhere.

Also, i'm new to this whole windows thing, so please excuse me if it sounds very simple.

回答5:

In my case, I resolved it by adding this C:\xampp\mysql\bin path in system variables then restarted cmd.

Note: Click me if you don't know how to set the path and system variables.

I am using xampp. For me best option is to change environment variables. Environment variable changing window is shared by @Abu Bakr in this thread

I change the path value as C:\xampp\mysql\bin; and it is working nice
