the command prompt \mysql\bin\mysqld-max-nt --install should be executed only to install the service, without any order parameter. If you want to run the server, as service the configuration variables, should be made through a configuration file named my.ini at \winnt\my.ini In this file, you create a section called [mysqld] and the keys that you need, for example: [mysqld] basedir=c:/mysql datadir=F:/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/data How you are running a Max server, if you don't want the InnoDB tables, you need to add the following keys: [mysqld] basedir=c:/mysql datadir=F:/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/data skip-innodb Otherwise, if you want these tables, create 2 directories for hold the data and log files for InnoDB, e.g:: F:\ibdata and F:\iblogs. Now you should have the following variables as example: [mysqld] basedir=c:/mysql datadir=F:/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/data innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:200M innodb_data_home_dir = f:\ibdata set-variable = innodb_mirrored_log_groups=1 innodb_log_group_home_dir = f:\iblogs set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=3 set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=30M set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1 innodb_log_arch_dir = f:\iblogs innodb_log_archive=0 set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=80M set-variable=lower_case_table_names =0 set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=10M set-variable = innodb_file_io_threads=4 set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50 Notice that the first time that the server is run, will create the InnoDB files, according with the sizes specified. Now you can start the server, in 2 ways: Like service: mysqld-max-nt --install net start mysql Like standalone: mysqld-max-nt --standalone Of course if you don't want to create, the configuration file, you can run the server, how I did: E:\mysql\bin>mysqld-max-nt --standalone --datadir=e:\dbdata\data --basedir=e:\mysql --skip-innodb --console mysqld-max-nt: ready for connections Of course that the best way to run the server is as service.
