Mysql paths...

[Toibs]

Should be an easy one for someone in the know.....

I'm now installing mysql properly on my local server, having previously used phperl2.3 (and have now deinstalled it!)

However, when i try to
"mysqld-max-nt --install"

Mysql, it comes up with

"The service currently exists!
Current server installed : C:\Phperl2.3\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt"

Now i've checked my.cnf, and only one exists on the system with the correct info in it.

Anyone know where this might be comming from, and and how to point it to it's correct directory? I'm using Win2k.

Thanks all :)

Just a quick update to this - Have found that there is already a mysql service running, yet whilst i can disable this service, i still cannot install until i have deleted this service.

Ideas anyone? :D

i think you need to stop the service before uninstalling it

windows command prompt type

NET STOP MYSQL

to stop the service first
