I had the same problem happen to me. Go in to services and right-click on the mysql service and check the properties. Check that the service is assigned to the right executable. Mine was not so I had to start it manually every time I restarted.
>>> Steve Bradwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/08/02 07:14AM >>> Hi everyone, I have recently moved my mysql server from a win98 machine to a win2000 machine. After running the self extracting setup for mysql, I copied my existing my.ini file over from the win 98 box, made neccesary changes to start mysqld-max-nt from correct dir, I copied the my.ini file because of the Innodb settings I had setup on the win98 machine. I then copied over my Ibdata, and IbLogs directories and their contents to the win2000 box, and the replaced the data directory with the one from the 98 box. I then started mysql from the command prompt with "mysqld-max-nt --console" it said ..."Innodb: Flushing modified pages from the buffer pool..." "Innodb: Started " "Ready for connections..." And all works fine, however when I restarted the pc, and winmysqladmin.exe was started as a service, the server is not started, I get the red light and no server, or table information. If I then go and start it through the console and run winmysqladmin.exe All my information appears like normal. Can anyone suggest what I should do? Thanks alot, Steve. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
