MySql Installation/Configuration

2002-02-15 Thread Juwon Aikulola

Hi Gurus,
I downloaded and installed MySql successfully, on a Windows 2000 O/S. I want 
to locate the my-example.cnf file, copy it to my root directory and rename 
it my.cnf. However, the my-example.cnf file I locate is a shortcut, 
pointing to no physical target. As a result, after going through this 
process, I cannot open the file to uncomment and edit the basedir line to 
point to MySql installation directory.
Somebody please help.

Thanks

Juwon

The shortcut was created because in your environment the extension
.cnf was applied for an MS application.
Open my computer.
In the Tool menu, open Folder Options.
Click the Tab Files Types.
Search for the .cnf extension and remove it (if you don't need this
set file option).
Create the my.cnf file again.

Miguel
