First, you'll get more help if you post to the list (Mysql General mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
All the --console does is directs error messages to the console, i.e., the dos window you have open. If you leave it off the error messages go to a file. What you describe below > without --console as para I'm able to start the > server. is _not_ the server starting correctly. It's _not_ starting and the error message is going to file when you do it without the --console. If it had started you would not have gotten back to the prompt, it would just never come back until the server was stopped elsewhere. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chukkala Bhaskar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kofirowster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 10:28 PM Subject: Re: MySQL Installation Problem > Hi guys, > I'm new to MySQL. > > I tried the following on my test pc with Win98. > It gave me error if I use --console as para. > Any clue? > > without --console as para I'm able to start the > server. > > Regards > > D:\MySQL\bin>mysqld --console > 040618 13:11:07 InnoDB: Operating system error number > 32 in a file operation. > InnoDB: See http://www.innodb.com/ibman.php for > installation help. > InnoDB: See section 13.2 at > http://www.innodb.com/ibman.php > InnoDB: about operating system error numbers. > InnoDB: File name .\ibdata1 > InnoDB: File operation call: 'open'. > InnoDB: Cannot continue operation. > > D:\MySQL\bin>mysqld > > D:\MySQL\bin> > > > > --- Kofirowster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a windows installation of myql.
