Very sorry, wrong list. Hi, I just installed mysql 3.23.36 for Win32 on two NT4 machines. During install, Computer B chose to install mysqld-opt as the executable in services (I find the process name using CTL-ALT-DEL- TaskManager) Comp A chose to use mysqld-nt as the executable in services. Why the different choice? Which executable is the right one to use? Comp A is NT4, Pentium Pro 200, 128 MB Comp B is NT4, Quad Pentiumm 133, 325 MB. The docs say that -opt does not run as a service, but it seems to. In the services applet, the label for mysql is "MySQL", but if I do CTL-ALT-DEL click TaskManager and look at the process name, I see either "mysqld-nt" on comp A or "mysqld-opt" on comp B. Thanks very much, Barry. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
