[BrownChiLD]

Hi

How do i manually relocate the mysql data folder to a different partition?

i have xampp running on C:/xampp

but i want to move the c:/xampp/mysql/data to d:/data


How do i do this?

Where ever you move the data folder to you have to tell MySQL where the new location is by changing the settings in the \xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini file.
