Joe: Here is what we do ...
- Login as Administrator - Open DOS Prompt, switch to the drive with MySQL on it, and CD\MYSQL\BIN - Type MYSQLD-NT --INSTALL - Type NET START MYSQL If that doesn't do the trick, your C:\WINNT\MY.INI (or C:\MY.CNF) may not be correct. Most coomon mistake is to use the wrong slash in basedir or datadir directories. Use forward slash (/) instead of backslash (\). i.e.: basedir=d:/mysql datadir=d:/mysql/data Gerald Jensen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Meirow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "mysql" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 10:05 AM Subject: Starting MySQL with Windows 2000 Can anybody explain how to start MySQL on Windows 2000? I've moved and renamed the my.ini file to C:\my.cnf - to no avail. I get the following messages displayed in the "Err File" tab of WinMySQLadmin: 020421 5:22:28 MySql: Got signal 11. Aborting! 020420 8:41:09 MySql: Shutdown Complete Any help is greatly appreciated.
