For serveral days I've been trying start MySQL on Windows. I have no problems installing it as a service but can't start it with the following command:
> net start mysql
However, I can start MySQL like so:
> mysqld --defaults-file="c:\mysql\my.ini"
The problem is that for some reason IIS does not run well doing it this way and the server freezes. It was running fine until I made some changes to the my.ini file. I've reverted them but it didn't help. I did a fresh install of mysql, removing all registries, and files from the applicationdata folder.
I don't know what else to try, any ideas would be appreciated!
