Re: Cannot start as NT service

[Christopher R. Jones]

Thanks for you help.  This following is what I put in the my.cnf in C:\
Note that I tried uncommenting the line socket=MySQL and it did not change
things.


# Example mysql config file.
# Copy this file to c:\my.cnf to set global options
# 
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run the program with --help to get a list of available options

# This will be passed to all mysql clients
[client]
#password=my_password
port=3306
#socket=MySQL

# Here is entries for some specific programs
# The following values assume you have at least 32M ram

# The MySQL server
[mysqld]
port=3306
#socket=MySQL
skip-locking
set-variable = key_buffer=16M
set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M
set-variable = thread_stack=128K
set-variable = flush_time=1800

# Uncomment the following row if you move the MySQL distribution to another
# location
#basedir = d:/mysql/

[mysqldump]
quick
set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M

[mysql]
no-auto-rehash

[isamchk]
set-variable= key=16M
