We are trying to install MySQL on a Windows 2000 Server, but are getting 'error 1058' when we try to start the service.
The MySQL version is 3.23.47-nt. The MySQL drive is F:, and c:\my.cnf is: [mysqld] port=3306 big-tables skip-locking set-variable = key_buffer=16M set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M set-variable = thread_stack=128K set-variable = flush_time=1800 set-variable = lower_case_table_names=1 basedir = F:/MYSQL/ console [mysqldump] quick set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M [MYSQL] no-auto-rehash [isamchk] set-variable= KEY=16M [client_fltk] help_file= F:\MYSQL\sql_client\MYSQL.help client_file= F:\MYSQL\MYSQL.options history_length=20 database = Wires queries_root= F:\MYSQL\queries last_database_file= F:\MYSQL\lastdb This system is to use MyISAM tables. >From a DOS prompt, we switched into the F:\MYSQL\BIN directory and... mysqld-nt --install Win2K reports the service installed. When we ... net start mysql we get the following error: System error 1058 has occurred. The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. Anyone had this problem ... found a fix ... have any idea what is wrong??? Any feedback will be appreciated.
