Hi, Ideally I wish to keep all of my database files on a network drive (X:\). Using WinMySQLAdmin.exe I have created a my.ini file which resides in my WINNT directory.
my.ini contents... [mysqld] basedir=C:/mysql #bind-address=127.0.0.1 datadir=X:/Shared/MyData/data #language=C:/mysql/share/your language directory #slow query log#= #tmpdir#= #port=3306 #set-variable=key_buffer=16M [WinMySQLadmin] Server=C:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe user=guest password=guest Upon starting the MySQL service though I receive the error message "Could not start the Mysql service on \\DELL02. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly". I have copied the databases to a local drive (D:\) and altered the my.ini file and all works well. Does anyone know why I cannot use MySQL to access databases on a networked drive???
