You mention treating my.cnf, MySQL's Configuration File in chapter 1. But a common problem is the role of my.ini on Windows and where MySQL on Windows finds what (I think my.cnf is completely ignored, but I'm not quite sure; and the location of my.ini is frequently wrong (installer bug). Some of that is maybe more beginners stuff, but I'm suggesting you do at least treat both files. -- Marjolein Katsma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Java Woman - http://javawoman.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
