1. If you are working on an NT/2000/XP server, logon as a user with
administrator privileges.
2. If you are doing an upgrade of an earlier MySQL installation, it
is necessary to stop the server. If you are running the server as
a service, use:C:\> NET STOP MySQL
Otherwise, use:
C:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root shutdown
3. On NT/2000/XP machines, if you want to change the server
executable (e.g., -max or -nt), it is also necessary to remove the
service:C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-max-nt --remove
4. Unzip the distribution file to a temporary directory.
5. Run the `setup.exe' file to begin the installation process. If you
want to install into another directory than the default
`c:\mysql', use the Browse button to specify your preferred
directory.
6. Finish the install process.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi!!
I had once installed PHPTriad, a package which installs php, apache and mysql on windows machines, and since I wanted to update my mysql and php version I uninstalled the package.
Then I tried installing php manually and did the smae with mysql, installing it under a different hd. The problem is that the mysql version I had with phptriad was installed as a service. And I wanted to do the same with this new version.
But I don`t know how to uninstall the old mysql server to install the new version. I tried the manual but couldn`t find the answer... can anyone please help me do this?
Thanks in advance...
