Hi everyone,

I have a question.
I have the MySQL Press Tutorial book and have a few questions about the new install of 4.1.5

How can I change the server to 'mysql-max' also this install seems to be missing a few folders 'scripts' etc...

Also when I try the MySQL 4.1.5 no-install the missing folders are there but I am having a few problems installing the no-install version.

I had an older version 4.0.21 installed so I stopped mysqladmin, removed the service

and followed the instructions in the book

mysqld-max --standalone

at this point the command prompt just blinks and I get no other messages on screen, PC sound as if it is working but nothing else appears on screen.

So I figure lets install the service...

mysqld-max --install

And yes service installs OK but I am not able to start it...

NET start MySQL

Have restarted PC, but still same error

1067


Does some one know what the problem could be.

Also in the new 4.1.5 installed where is the my.ini file kept or my.cnf ???? as I was not able to find it.

4.1.5 does run ok but was not installed the way I wanted.

Thinking about doing the MySQL Cert but need to get my head around this first.

All the best and thanks for your time.
