RE: More on Win 2000 installation problems.

[David LeBlanc]

Hi Ben;

Sorry, that's not my strength. I think you would use one of the mysql
utilities to dump the schema and then import it on the Unix box.

  Hi David~
  This looks to have worked... I had downloaded some other version of MySQL
that didn't have a setup.exe.  Thank you for the good directions.  Do
you/anyone know if I create a table on my local machine-- is there an easy
way to copy this table over to my remote Unix server?

  Thanks,
  -Ben

    Hi;

    Sorry to have been so brief before.

    I looked at my binary install, and can't find a file named
    mysq_installation.com, so I'm not sure what you're doing to get that
file.

    Try this to see if it works for you:

    1. Download the msql-3.23.21-beta-win.zip file from msql.com to a temp
    directory.

    2. Unzip the file into (for example) c:\mysql\install or some other
    convenient temp directory, NOT the final directory or the directory
where
    the zip file is. (You might want to save the zip file for other
installs.)

    3. run 'setup.exe' which is in the dir from step 2.

    4. delete the dir from step 2. (If you unzipped into c:\mysql\install,
then
    delete the install dir as it's not needed anymore.)

    5. Run winmysqladmin.exe from the mysql/bin directory. This program on
my
    box has a strange tendancy to come up, show for a few seconds and then
    minimize itself to the task bar as a traffic light. It will also prompt
you
    for a database username and password the first time it runs.

    6. On the 'my.ini setup' tab, go through and make sure all the paths
agree
    with the directory where you actually installed mysql (if it's not the
    default c:\mysql). Don't uncomment or change any settings you don't
    _completely_ understand. Also select the version of mysql you want to
run -
    I suggest standalone at first, not the service or pentium opt versions.

    7. On the upper right corner of the program window, there is a message
that
    says something like "right click here for menu". Right click there and
    select "start server standalone" (this message may vary depending on
what
    version you decided to have started in the my.ini setup tab.)

    8. If you picked standalone, you will see a console window pop-up at
least
    momentarily and then disappear (does this here on NT). Then, after a few
    moments, you should see some server connect info on the 'environment'
tab of
    the winmysqladmin program.

    At this point you can hide the winmysqladmin program (using the menu as
in
    step 8) and you have a running server. Now you can run mysql.exe or
    Mysqlmanager.exe to do stuff with the database.

    Good luck!

    Dave LeBlanc
