Hello, I have installed mysql but did not install it as a service.
All I do is runmysqld-max-nt.exe Now I need it to run as a service. It is on a win2003 machine. Can I make it run as a service once I already have it installed. I cannot lose data and do not want to do a mysqldump, uninstall and reinstall as this would bring the server down for too long. Is there a way to make it start running as a service? Thanks in advance James
