try mysqld-nt --install instead of your own batch script. After run the command, it will install mysql as NT/2000 service among user right. You can check it at Control Panel, System Admin Tool, Service to see its status. MySQL server will then run as a background service whenever restart your server. This should be absoultely smooth since I am using 2000 Advanced and 3.23.38-max-nt for a long time. Pls check the manual or readme file for more detail. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mikkel Gravgaard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 5:16 PM Subject: Startin MySQL upon boot in Win2k > Since I like my hard drive more tidy than my house, I've put MySQL in > C:\Program Files\MySQL. > This means that I currently have to start MySQL using a .bat file, since > the > mysql-daemon won't find the MySQL-directory if I install it as a > Service: > > --- MySQL.bat --- > cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\bin > > mysqld --basedir="C:\Program Files\MySQL" > ------ > > The .bat file is put in the Startup-folder, but this means that when > Win2k > Professional has booted, I end up with a command-window on my desktop, > which I'll > have to manually close. > Can anyone think of a bit more smooth way to get it all going? > > /Mikkel > > > ================================================================== 新浪免費電子信箱 http://sinamail.sina.com.hk --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
