Hi all,

Whenever i try to start the mysql service, i get the Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly
Apache is running fine, php installed but all i need is to get mysql working so that a database can be created.

Cheers!

    If you've installed mysql into a non-standard directory, you're going to manually have to edit the my.ini in c:\win.

    Mine looks like:

    [mysqld]
    basedir=C:/www/mysql/
    datadir=C:/www/mysql/data/

    Ok, got it working now. I just had to delete the my.ini and reinstall mysql. Now i just need to configure it/starting a new database.

    You might want to change the default password tho. I believe the syntax at teh command prompt was like, mysql -u root password passHere

    I highly reccomend you install phpMyAdmin. It makes managing MySQL as cool as dancing bananas :jelly:

    When you start the binary tho, your database is already created. Just start creating tables.
