Riccardi, your innodb_log_arch_dir is
C:\InnoDB\iblogs but innodb_log_group_home_dir is C:\iblogs These should be the same. Your MySQL error log should contain an error message of this: C:\trybuild\client_debug>mysqld --console InnoDB: Error: you must set the log group home dir in my.cnf the InnoDB: same as log arch dir. 011005 16:00:07 Can't init databases Note that you must create the directories yourself: InnoDB does not create directories. When you install MySQL -Max, maybe it is best to start it the first time from the MS-DOS prompt like you see above. Then you see what it is doing. When you start as a service, there is less touch to the whole process.
