Hi Patrick,
I didn't have any existing MySQL files on my system - when I rebuilt the system, I ghosted it all the way back to factory settings. I found the my.ini file, it was installed in the E:\WINNT folder. Like you pointed out, it incorrectly pointed to the C Drive, so I corrected the paths to E:\Program Files. I then tried to manually start MySQL and got an error about not being able to change to the Data directory. That subdirectory doesn't exist, so I created it under mysql. Now when I try to start it either manually or as a service it won't start but it doesn't give any error messages. Needless to say, CdC can't connect to it or create a database because mysql wont stay alive. Thanks for the help, any more suggestions? <RE> --- In [email protected], Patrick Chevalley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > On Windows the MySQL configuration file is C:\windows\my.ini > It must contain basedir=E:\Program Files\mysql and datadir=E:\Program > Files\mysql\data > Maybe the installer do not replace an existing file you have on your system. > > Patrick ------------------------ Yahoo!
