Wait for the completion of the configuration. At the end, select Finish.
Note: if an anti-virus program is active during installation, the confirmation of the changes to
the operating system registry may be required. In this case, confirm the changes to correctly
proceed with the installation.
Note: if the HD35AP-S program can not access the database after the installation and the
configuration of MySQL, check the following points:
1. Open Windows® TASK MANAGER and select the SERVICES list. Check if MySQL appears in
the list and if the process is RUNNING in the STATUS column.
If the MySQL service is listed but it is not running, select the MySQL row, press the mouse
right button and select the command START.
If the MySQL service is not listed, go to the BIN subfolder of MySQL installation folder
(usually C:\programs\MySQL\...), run the program MySQLInstanceConfig.exe and repeat the
above procedure from point 12.
2. If the database should be accessible from other PCs of the network (function available
with HD35AP-PLUS only) and a firewall program is active, check that the access to MySQL is
not blocked by the firewall: in this case, insert an exception for MYSQL server in the firewall
settings and allow the access from all the PCs of the network.
BACKUP OF THE DATABASE
For safety, regularly make a backup of the data in the database by using the MySQL Backup
utility which is installed in the PC together with the HD35AP-S software.
