I am in a windows 2000 environment. My level of experience is very low so please be explicit. I am reviewing mySQL as a solution for multiple web applications and CDROM applications.
I am trying to start the server for the first time using the command: c:\mysql\bin>mysqld-max --standalone Here is the message I get: Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set. If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line skip-innodb to the [mysqld] section of the init parameters in your my.cnf or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add for example, innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:30 But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html Here are the contents of the file c:\winnt\my.ini on my machine: [mysqld] basedir=c:/mysql datadir=c:/mysql/data/ innodb_data_home_dir = c:\ibdata innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:2000M;ibdata2:2000M set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=70M set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=10M innodb_log_group_home_dir = c:\iblogs innodb_log_arch_dir = c:\iblogs innodb_log_archive=0 set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=3 set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=10M set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1 set-variable = innodb_file_io_threads=4 set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50 Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
