But, did you follow the instructions in the manual *exactly* ? If I read http://www.mysql.com/doc/W/i/Windows_server_first_start.html it says "Testing from a DOS command prompt is the best thing to do because the server displays status messages that appear in the DOS window. If something is wrong with your configuration, these messages will make it easier for you to identify and fix any problems. Make sure you are in the directory where the server is located, then enter this command: C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-max --standalone " I didn't see the --standalone parameter in your earlier posting. Follow the manual exactly.... Regards, Arjen. -- Get MySQL Training Worldwide, http://www.mysql.com/training/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Arjen G.
