Oh, right- I forgot to mention that. Part of the error message in trying to connect to the database said that it couldn't find the mysql.err file. I installed mySQL in C:\mysql but the error message from the DOS shell said it couldn't find the file: D:\mysql\data\english\mysql.err. I am not sure why it was looking for that file on the D drive when I expected it to look on C:\mysql\data\english\mysql.err.

That may not be the precise path that I am quoting, but - let's assume it is for a minute- the message was confusing in that mySQL was looking for that file on my D drive, when the application is installed on C. Is there some way to tell mySQL to look in the a path of the C drive?

Thanks, Scott

Scott,

You should be able to find a file titled 'mysql.err' in your data directory. This file will contain information that should help you get started.

Hi,

I am using the binary distribution of mySQL for Windows-2000 and am not able to connect to the DBserver. I used the Setup executable to install the application. I verified that the my.ini file was created and contained appropriate information. But, when I right-click with my mouse on the stop light icon- to start the service- nothing happens. I tried to ping the port that mySQL was supposed to be listening at, and it said that the connection was refused.

So, it seems like I have not done something properly. Any thoughts as to how to trouble shoot this problem?

Thanks, Scott
