Mysql error

Anon

Hi all,

I got error while installing the Mysql.
I downloaded both mysql 3.23 and Mysqlodbc.
IF I typed msqld at command promt I got the following error:

Can't initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.

If I installing the myodbc it is giving following error:
An Error occurred while copying c:windows\system\MFC30.DLL restart windows and try installing again.

I tried many times but I am getting same error.

Can you please help me.

Thank you,
Leela

mfc30.dll ???
Last used VC++ 2.2...
If you are not using Oracle, it is badly outdated i am afraid ...

What Win32 are you using ? You may want to create a windows/system on your C: if you are using NT or 2K and then include it your system path.

As fot the path, you have to set it up in the ODBC console under the "File DSN" tab.

Hello, im getting the exact same error with MySQL. Im using win98, and the latest stable version of MySQL.

You claimed to set it up in the control panel under ODBC and FILE DSN,
but what exactly am I suppose to do there?
Thanks,

Also had the InnoDB path problem on win98. Tried inserting my.cnf
sample to no avail

BUT....

I read the winmysqladmin tool will be running automatically in next releases.

Go to Bin and run winmysqladmin. I think it builds the ini and cnf file
to provide support for the Berkley and Innodb tables that support
commits & rollbacks. It also takes care of starting the server, mysqld.
After running this all you have to do is type mysql if you see some stuff
you are in business!

First, if you do not need any particular function from MySQL. You may download a compiled version(binary). There are different versions for WinNT and Win98. Make sure you have the right one for you. For Win98 version, it runs as a service, therefore you don't need a ODBC to make it work with PHP.
