Miguel,
I can look at the file /mysql/data/mysql.err by using emacs. I do not need to stop the server. If I try a Windows tool like WordPad?, yes, it does not let me see the file. Heikki, I checked the task manager. I only have one mysqld running which is the mysqld-max-nt. I had mysqlgui running while I brought the server down and then up but I do not think this can cause the problem. Sorry to bother again, but I still get the message in mysql.err that says I'm running a non-debug version. I created the table innodb_lock_monitor. It seems that I cannot get this info with mysqld-max-nt. The --debug flag (if I need it) seems to be ignored. I did not see any mysql*.trace file created. The examples given in the manual and yours use mysqld. This is the output: ============= $ c:/MySQL/bin/mysqld-max-nt.exe --standalone --debug InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally. InnoDB: Starting recovery from log files... InnoDB: Starting log scan based on checkpoint at InnoDB: log sequence number 0 447435769 011031 12:35:05 InnoDB: Started ================ $ mysql --user=sys --database=MyPCAServer -pmypsw Welcome to the MySQL monitor.
