Just installed the latest version and it came up no problem. Apache 2 run as a service, also no trouble, but MySQL won't run as a service.
XAMPP is on F: which is boot drive. In the readme_en.txt it states,
- Code: Select all
\...\xampp\apache\mysql_installservice.bat
==> Install MySQL as service
Before, please copy the my.cnf with absolute paths to c:\ (c:\my.cnf)!
The XAMPP package has a "my", "my.cnf.old" and a "my.nt-cnf.old" but no my.cnf.
Win2K(SP4) viewed the *.cnf as a SpeedDial file so I swacked that off. I've tried all of these files as F:\my.cnf but all get the following after running mysql_installservice.bat;
- Code: Select all
Note: We need a c:\my.cnf for an installation as service!
Just i have copy bin\my.nt-cnf as c:\my.cnf.
The system cannot find the drive specified.
You should control the c:\my.cnf for absolute paths!
Installing MySQL as an Service
The service already exists!
The current server installed: F:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt MySQL
MySQL is starting as service ...
Press any key to continue . . .
Services show MySQL, but "stopped" Sys Log shows no events, unless I try to start MySQL in the Service Manager. I then get an Error 1067 Terminated Unexpectedly.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
