Hi
I had pored for ages over the Manual prior to posting my problem. I've
solved it - all the methods given in the Manual dont apply to 2000. Manual
states the various start
methods etc apply to both NT and 2000. They don't, at least not for
Professional. Forget the --standalone, the skip- etc etc. The only method,
after exhaustive tries, that works is:
1. Go to the dir where mysql is stored (I'd unzipped to d:) (dont forget
to first edit my.cnf for d:)
2. At
d:\mysql>bin\mysql-nt --install
3. d:\mysql>NET START mysql
etc.then start the monitor.
You must install it as a service, no other options (as for NT) seem to work
with Pro 2000. Also, it's best to restart pc more frequently too.
Cheers, Lucy
