Trying to install MySQL onto the Windows XP machine. While going through the installation steps (in the "MySQL Server Instance Config. Wizard"), I get to a point where it the window reads:
MySQL Server Instance Configuration (bold header) Choose the configuration for the server instance. Ready to execute... o Prepare configuration o Write configuration file o Start service o Apply security settings (this line is greyed out) Please press [Execute] to start the configuration. [ Back ] [ Execute ] [ Cancel ]
So I press execute, and then a red X appears in the second step:
Write configuration file
and at the bottom, where it originally said:
Please press [Execute] to start the configuration.
It now says:
The template configuration file cannot be found at C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\my-template.cnf
I'm unsure what it means, but I canceled the config wizard and looked in the directory that had been created (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0
).
There are some configuration settings files, and there are 4 folders:
- bin
- data
- Docs
- share
