I got it fixed Patrick.
I mulled it over a bit this morning and the no "Data" directory was buggin' me. So I opened up the install file and saw that the installation should have created the directory along with a host of files to go in it. I blew away the original install, ran it again, checked that it created the "Data" directory, updated the my.ini file for the correct path, and now everything is working fine. <shrug> I guess the original install bombed out for some reason but it is working fine now. Sorry for the confustion. <RE> --- In [email protected], "rapideye.geo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 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.
