Subject:mySQL, Win32 - moving databasefiles to a new folder
View as plain text  
Hi - I've got me a handfull trying to move some databasefiles from the
default path (c:\mysql\data) to a user speficied path eg d:\mydb

On my NT-Box mySQL installs nicely in c:\mysql per default

I've read the documentation, where it states how to move the data files
And I tried the different solutions - creating a my.cnf in the root etc ,
without any luck

I'm trying to run mySQL as a nt-service, nad it works great from the
c:/mysql
But this drive is my WinNT system drive, and I would like to have the
databasefiles on a serie of drives running raid 5

The NT-Box runs WinNT Server (servicepack 4), IIS 4.0 and mySQL version 3.22

Thanks in the advance
