Don't use the max version. Under Windows 95/98, this server type is called mysqld-max.exe. Start mysqld.exe instead. In MySQL 3.23, InnoDB is not enabled in mysqld.exe. As an alternative, you could start mysqld-max.exe with the option --skip-innodb: mysqld.exe --skip-innodb Or you could configure this in your c:\windows\my.ini configuration file: [mysqld] ... skip-innodb (In this case, you have to restart the server for the changes to take effect.) mysql>> use nick > Reading table information for completion of table and column names > You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A > My question is, what does this message mean, and how to get rid of it? As it says: Start the command line tool like that: mysql -A (or: mysql --disable-auto-rehash) On a slow machine, this can save you some seconds of your valuable time :) > File 'NONEXISTENT/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2) > Character set '#27' is not a compiled character set and is not specified > in the 'NONEXISTENT/charsets/Index' file Hmm. Probably your basedir variable is not set, and PHP sort of chokes on this. When starting the server (or in your my.ini, see above), you can set this variable (in most cases that's not necessary, but in your case, this seems to be a source of trouble): mysqld --basedir=c:\mysql (or whatever your installation directory is) or [mysqld] ... basedir=c:/mysql (note the slash instead of the backslash) Hope it helps, and have fun with MySQL!
