Hi gys,
I am trying to get MySql running. There seems to be a fair bit of config work on Windows.
My Q is regarding the 4 different conf files they have suggested to use and place one in the c:\ directory called my.conf
Has anyone got any particular suggestions which I should consider in choosing the right conf file to use? I'm very new to MySQL and PHP so some advice would be great.
Cheers
Jim

IIRC, if you have put the installation somewhere different all you need is a my.cnf (put in your root drive - c:\) or a my.ini (in the WINNT/WINDOWS folder) containing the following:
Mac
Code: Select all
# Uncomment the following rows if you move the MySQL distribution to another
# location
basedir = C:/mysql-location/
datadir = C:/mysql-location/data/
