Hi,
I just downloaded the binaries. I have followed the installation
instructions. Have run the command "mysqld-max-nt --install-manual " and
checked the service panel and MySql is installed as a service. However when
I either try to start the service in the service panel or issue the command
"net start mysql" I get the following error message
" Could not start the MySQL service in local computer. Error 3 The System
cannot find the path specified. "
Per the documentation my.ini file is in the WINNT directory and reads:
[mysqld]
# set basedir to installation path, e.g., c:/mysql
basedir=the_install_path
# set datadir to location of data directory,
# e.g., c:/mysql/data or d:/mydata/data
datadir=the_data_path
Thanks for any help.
