I'm relatively new to web development and basically don't have a clue on all the intricacies of establishing a localhost development environment. I'm running a Win 98 platform and want to develop using PHP4, Apache, & MySql that will support transaction processing. I've found a ton of great information on establishing this dev environment and have successfully installed & configured apache & php. These process seem to work just fine, I'm able to serve up my PHP scripts no problem. So my next step was to install MySql, All the tutorials I've read make it sound like a piece of cake, however I must be illiterate because MySql is kicking my butt. It's my impression I must be missing the boat somewhere on the configuration aspects of this. I was getting an error innodb_data_file_path not specified so I read some more & setup a C:\my.cnf file with a slew of InnoDB options; **************************************************************************** # mysql config file. # # One can use all long options that the program supports. # Run the program with --help to get a list of available options # This will be passed to all mysql clients [client] #password=my_password port=3306 #socket=MySQL # Here is entries for some specific programs # The following values assume you have at least 32M ram # The MySQL server [mysqld] port=3306 #socket=MySQL skip-locking default-character-set=latin1 set-variable = key_buffer=16M set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M set-variable = thread_stack=128K set-variable = flush_time=1800 innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:20M;ibdata2:20M innodb_data_home_dir = c:\ibdata set-variable = innodb_mirrored_log_groups=1 innodb_log_group_home_dir = c:\iblogs set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=3 set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=10M set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=10M innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1 innodb_log_arch_dir = c:\iblogs innodb_log_archive=0 set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=20M set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=10M set-variable = innodb_file_io_threads=4 set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50 # Uncomment the following row if you move the MySQL distribution to another # location #basedir = d:/mysql/ [mysqldump] quick set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M [mysql] no-auto-rehash [isamchk] set-variable= key=16M [client_fltk] help_file= c:\mysql\sql_client\MySQL.help client_file= c:\mysql\MySQL.options history_length=20 database = test queries_root= c:\mysql\queries last_database_file= c:\mysql\lastdb **************************************************************************** ****** I got farther along but evidently what I have must not be appropriate because it died with the following: Innobase: Assertion failure in thread 4294132173 in file M:\mysql-3.23\innobase\ os\os0file.c line 187 Innobase: we intentionally generate a memory trap.
