Hi, I was unable to install and run mysql on windows vista using the
installation
from zip method described here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-install-archive.html
I downloaded the zip archive for mysql-5.1.39-win32, then I extracted it to:
c:/tmp/mysql/mysql-5.1.39-win32
I did a mkdir c:/tmp/mysql/data
Then I created a my.ini in c:/tmp/mysql/mysql-5.1.39-win32
as described here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-create-option-file.html
The contents of the my.ini file i created are:
[mysqld]
# set basedir to your installation path
basedir=c:/tmp/mysql/mysql-5.1.39-win32
# set datadir to the location of your data directory
datadir=c:/tmp/mysql/data
I then did a cd to c:/tmp/mysql/mysql-5.1.39-win32/bin
and invoked the command:
./mysqld --console
I received the error output below (see ERROR OUTPUT), and am wondering what
might have gone wrong ?
Any advice most appreciated !
