Hi, I'm trying to run MySQL ver 3.23.49 on Win98 with Apache, PHP & Perl. Apache reports that PHP & Perl are running OK. When I try to start MySQL, or let it start on boot, or try to use the "WinMySqladmin" program, I get a Windows error from MYSQLD-OPT.exe, with the usual Win98 "close" and "details" and the console screen for that program reads:
c:\serve\MySql\bin\mysql-opt.exe: Fatal error: Can't find messagefile 'C: erve\MySql\share\english\errmsg.sys' It seems the program is looking in "C:/ erve" when in fact the relevant errmsg.sys file is in the "C:/serve" folder into which everything was installed, along with the complete MySQL installation. There is no "C:/ erve" folder. I can't get MySql to run. I assumed a data error, or perhaps a wrong line in a config file somewhere, but I uninstalled and reinstalled MySql twice (including installing to the default folder), no change,. and I can't find any reference to this non-existent folder anywhere in a config file, so I can't correct it. Please help me, it's taken me (admittedly not a networking guru) 3 days to get Apache running happily with Perl and PHP, and this is going to tip me over the edge...! Thanks in advance, Mick. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
