Well... I installed mysql in my D: drive (at home) and it works perfectly. I
set in the control panel/services to have mysql started automatically when
the server is started.
When I want to access it direct I just go to D:\Program Files\mysql\bin and
type mysql.
Yesterday I tested a cgi script appending rows to a table and it worked good
until I decided to install Oracle driver.
However in my job I installed first at C:, then at E: and then when I
deleted the C: one I found problem trying to access the one that was in E:.
At home I never got this issue because the first time I installed at D:.
There is a note in mySQL guide that says that you should install it first at
C: then move it to anotehr drive and the always start it making reference to
the first location. Sorry I don't remember it exactly but the warning is in
the manual. However I never followed this warning and at home it works
perfectly.
