Hi!

There is no "C:/ >> erve" folder. I can't get MySql to run. Fix: Change in your my.ini file: c:\serve to c:/serve or c:\\serve (The problem is that the MySQL configure files uses \ as a escape symbol) Regards, Monty -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Michael Widenius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, CTO /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Helsinki, Finland <___/ www.mysql.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?
