mysqld-nt --help has the correct basedir (.....\mysql\) Oh, what's that? In my.ini I just wrote "basedir=....mysql" -without the last backslash! Can that be a reason? And how to change it? The same for datadir! telnet localhost 3306 says: Verbindungsaufbau zu localhost... Es konnte keine Verbindung mit dem Host hergestellt werden, auf Port 3306. Es konnte nicht...., da der Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte. (perhaps incorrect translation: connection to localhost on port 3306 wasn't possible. The computer didn't allow the connection) > If it won't start anyway, put mysqladmin.exe to your autostart. I don't understand that. I thought that mysqladmin requires an already started server service. Isn't that right? However, I tried start mysqladmin/host=localhost It says that it needs mysqld running and tells me to check it with telnet. What I did. See above. I have no debug-version of mysqld-nt. Any other idea?? best regards Sabine > --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
