This is on my WinXP Media Center laptop running Apache1.3.41, PHP5.2.6,
mySQL5.0.67. The first two I installed manually, I found a Windows
installer for mySQL. I have been able to install Drupal (which I'm
learning) and SMF, which I'm using on my host but ran into some issues
upgrading recently, so installed locally to test. I also had to adjust
php.ini to get ZenPhoto running.
I loaded a lot of modules into Drupal 5, and turned them on. Instead I
got a page of errors about table watchdog not being able to be locked.
When I googled that, one fix was to increase the max_allowed_packet file
in my.cnf. I apparently do not have a file named my.cnf. So, from
start > all programs I ran the MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard. I
accepted all the defaults for a production server. The first time I hit
finish it couldn't start the server, but it did the second time.
Went back to my Drupal install, hit back and then saved my configuration
again. It couldn't connect to the server. I rebooted the computer, and
got a popup about mysqld-nt.exe crashing and did I want to report it to
Windows.
What do I do next? I still don't have a my.cnf file according to
search. Drupal and SMF are both giving me the can't connect to database
error. OK, I do have a my.ini file which seems to be what I need for
Windows? It was modified today, created in September so when I
installed mysql. I am trying to open ib_logfile0 in Notepad++ but that
is still trying.
