Hi All, I have messed up my server just a bit, it no longer starts ;) I have 2 servers one on a 98 machine for testing, and another on a 2000 box that is being set up for intranet applications at my company. I usually do changes etc on the 98 box then just stop both servers and copy the data folder from my 98 box to the 2000 box. This time when I wen't to restart the service on the 2000 box i get a message "Fails to start the service, please wait 30 seconds and try again." I did and no go :( I'm new to mysql and db admin stuff so what I have been doing is probably not the best way to do this, but it has worked for me so far.
So can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this? Also by simply stopping the service on the 2000 box am I actually shutting down the server? Is there another way I should be doing this kind of thing? I am running mysqld-max-nt on the 2000 box, with innodb. Steve Bradwell MIS Department. "If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day.
