problem with MySQL installation : template configuration file cannot be found
- by user35389
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
