Hi
1. I'm working in Windows 2000, intending to run MySQL to localhost on same
laptop.
2. I've edited "my.cnf" to change to d: wherever it said c:, placed it 3
places, c:\, d:\ and d:\mysql\data\ as per Manual's Option Files. As I
unzipped binary directly to d:
3. None of these have worked:
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld --debug
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld --standalone --debug
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld --standalone
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld --basedir d:\mysql
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld --skip-grant-tables --debug
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld --skip-grant-tables
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --standalone --debug
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --standalone
I was shutting down via Task Manager but have repeated by shutting down the
laptop aswell.
All cases, everything just hangs, nothing happens.
4. As per Manual, this command:
d:\mysql\bin\mysqld
produced a mysql.err file which states "REady for connections"
and it came back to the prompt d:>
I thought this might have started the server up, so I then tried d:>mysql
but it didn't recognise this.
I tried
d:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow
but it came back with error message, "Can't connect to MySQL server on
'localhost'. Check that it's running.
5. I particularly didn't want to use the mysqld-nt install option because I
don't want the bother of installing as a service with
users/passwords, this is just development work, Windows defaults of being
available for all users is fine.
Also the Manual states the option file my.cnf is supported by program
"mysqld", implicitly it therefore does not support programs "mysql-nt",
"mysql-opt". As I've changed default location, I need the option file I
believe.
Anyone any ideas? Cheers, Lucy
