| I'm having no luck getting MySQL 5 installed under Windows 2000 Professional. The service does not start, either automatically on bootup, or manually. Reading through the manual does not address the issue, at least that I could find. There isn't a previous version on the system - this is a brand new drive. I have MyODBC Connector 3.51 installed. Is this a known problem, or am I missing something here. I've had earlier versions working just fine. -- Amer Neely w: www.softouch.on.ca/ Perl | MySQL programming for all data entry forms.

From %mysql_home%\bin try running it first in a cmd window ... mysqld-nt --console --log_warnings or mysqld-nt --standalone --log_warnings Once it runs without errors, shut mysqld-nt down, eg by running mysaladmin -uroot shutdown from another cmd window, then install the service with ... mysqld-nt -- install after which it should auto-start at bootup.

I managed to get it installed and running - it seems to be very flaky depending on which config wizard options are chosen. This time I got asked which port to use - that had never appeared before. But now I'm trying to point it to a different data dir. In my.ini I have datadir="I:/mysql/data/" which I've also copied to c:\ When I try to restart the service from control panel, it throws an error: Error 1067. The process terminated unexpectedly. -- Amer Neely w: www.softouch.on.ca/ Perl | MySQL programming for all data entry forms. "Others make web sites. We make web sites work!" |

First, I went back to 5.0.21 instead of 5.0.41. And when I changed my.ini to point to a different data dir, instead of 'restarting' the service from control panel, I stopped, then started it.
