I've been using MySQL 4.1 for a couple of days now and all has been fine, then I rebooted the server, and suddenly MySQL wouldn't connect.
I kept getting an incorrect file path error. I checked the executable file path set in the MySQL Service and it's pointing to: "C:\Program Files\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt" --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\mysql\my.cnf" MySQL Now, the problem, as I see it, is that, first of all those paths are totally wrong... All the executables are in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin ... and there is not a path of C:\Program Files\mysql\my.cnf on my system, either... Also, it looks like the MySQL Service is looking for an executable called "mysqld-opt" and there's not one anywhere, even in the C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 4.1\bin folder. I tried to uninstall MySQL and reinstall, but it didn't uninstall the service. Trying to change the MySQL Service path doesn't seem possible, because the path form field is grayed out...is there somewhere I can do that? The registry? I've checked the documentation for MySQL and can't find anything that has helped... Any advice would be appreciated! Rick -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
