Description: I want to install MySQL on my PC. But I'm using Windows ME as operation system. So I downloaded the "Windows 95/98/NT/2000 (Intel)"-version. Was this correct? After installation I tried to start the server using following MS DOS-commando "C:\mysql\bin\mysqld". But I always get this error message: "Can't initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set" What did I forget or wrong? Did I forget to create a file (my.cnf) ? The book I'm reading (about mysql-3_23_27) refers to a file called "Infolist.txt". But c:\mysql doesn't contain such a file :( How-To-Repeat: Fix: Synopsis: Installation of MySQL Submitter-Id: Originator: Hilmar Organization: MySQL support: none Severity: non-critical Priority: medium Category: mysqld Class: support Release: mysql-3.23.41 Exectutable: [mysqld, mysqld-shareware, mysqld-nt or mysqld-opt] Environment: <machine description> System: Windows ME Compiler: VC++ 6.0 Architecture: i --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
