Those are the ones. What about host.FRM ? Normally *.FRM are the ones that contain table definitions. *.MYD are the ones that contain Table Data *.MYI are the ones that contain Index information I think for every table, the above files should be there.
How did you install MySQL? From an installer? Or you just unzipped the files? Both methods should work on Windows. Try to reinstall and see if the problem will be solved Thanks Emery ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Wasserman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Director General: NEFACOMP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 18:31 Subject: RE: Starting the mySQL Server What if it isn't there. How do I create it? I have some files such as host.MYD, and host.MYI; are these related? _________________________________________________________________ Larry Wasserman Two Prudential Plaza Enterprise Marketing Automation 180 North Stetson, Suite 5200 SAS Institute Inc.

It is located in MySQL DATA --->mysql ---> MySQL data is the directory containing all data. On windows systems that is normally c:\mysql\data So the table file should be in c:\mysql\data\mysql Thanks Emery ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Wasserman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 17:29 Subject: Starting the mySQL Server I cannot start the MySQl Server.
