Actually the correct code (for a default install) is ... start.bat w mysql Note the first parameter is the virtual drive letter (default is w) I run it as a modified shortcut on the desktop The comments on lines 9-11 of start.bat are incorrect according to the batch commands below it! Also a bit of confusion over what these line mean. Could I suggest: rem Server start options for this batch file:
rem start w mysql console - to start mysql at server start and display console
rem start w mysql - to start mysql at server start
rem start w nomysql console - to display console
%1 = Drive letter created by the server %2 = MYSQL if you want to run MYSQL automatically %3 = CONSOLE if you want to leave console open Just my 19cents ... Cheers Kyle
