Re: Changing error message

Hi! mysqld thinks some character pairs like \b and \s are special characters. You should replace basedir=C:\mysql\bin language=c:\mysql\share\english\ by basedir=C:/mysql/bin language=c:/mysql/share/english/ mysqld will internally convert those slashes to backslashes on Windows. Best regards,
