Hello, I'm running Windows ME and installed 2 weeks ago MYSQL and got it working fine. Had no problems. Now suddenly since a couple days I can't get the MYSQL Server started anymore. I get the above described message. Well, I checked the manual and followed those hint's but it does not tell me much more.
I can ping my localhost address 127.0.0.1 and localhost itself, but when I try to telnet to it I get the message "Could not open connection to localhost". To make things worse I deinstalled MYSQL and reinstalled it. I kept my previous my.ini but checked it against the manual and can't find anything wrong. Here it is: [mysqld] basedir=c:\mysql datadir=c:\mysql\data innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:2000M;ibdata2:2000M innodb_data_home_dir=c:\mysql\data\ibdata innodb_log_group_home_dir=c:\mysql\data\iblogs innodb_log_arch_dir=c:\mysql\data\iblogs innodb_log_archive=1 [WinMySQLadmin] Server=C:/MYSQL/bin/mysqld.exe QueryInterval=10 Now when I start MYSQL with the command MYSQLD I get the following errors: Innodb:operating system error number 3 in a file operation. Innodb: Error in creating or opening c:\mysql\data\ibdata\ibdata1 Innodb: Could not open data files 011220 Can't init databases. I believe this is not a MYSQL issue but rather something on Windows operating System level. I don't know any further, especially after it worked before and I probably screwed something up, but I can't find what it is. HELP !
