Apache Friends Support Forum

Alright.. I have XAMMP for Windows on my other box, everything works fine and all.. but I want to have everything automatically start when I boot up. I got Apache to start as a service, but I can't get MySQL to work properly as a service. I am probably just doing it wrong, so if anyone can give me some pointers, it would be nice. Thanks.

By the way, I am using the minixampp

have you read the xampp_man.txt?

To use MySQL as Service for NT/2000/XP Professional, simply copy the "my"
/ "my.cnf" file to C:\my, or C:\my.cnf. Please note that this
file has to be placed in C:\ (root), other locations are not permitted. Then
execute the "mysql_installservice.bat" in the mysql folder.

when you use the install script theres an my_example.cnf under /(mini)xampp

just drag it into a notepad window and save as my.cnf under C:\
