i cant start mysqld or mysql-nt because it gives me system error 1067, it looks for the my.cnf file in c:\my.cnf.

I dont want it to look there, how do i make it look for the file within its own directory instead of c:\my.cnf

Remove the MySQL service and reinstall ist.

what is "ist" and how do i reinstall it

what is "ist"

"it".

and how do i reinstall it

1. "sc delete mysql"
2. "mysql_installservice.bat"

its on windows 2000 so i dont think the sc command works

i did --remove and then ran the mysql_installservice.bat and it says

the system cannot find the path specified


i guess its referring to the "my.cnf" file in the c:\

its on windows 2000 so i dont think the sc command works

"sc" is part of the W2k resource kit:
