I did do a google search earlier.. searched for the same thing...
I did find one or two fora where it says to restart the server, but
don't know how you do that.. it says in my book (oreilly) to start the
server to run $ bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &... don't see a file
called 'safe_mysqld in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin..
(why does installation not come with a list of what each executable
in bin dir does? there are lots of them..)
I tried to open mysql.exe earlier, saw a glimpse of a shell window,
which then disappeared.. could this have caused the problem.. it says
in manual to run 'bin\mysqld --console' I navigated to bin dir and did
mysqld --console get error.. then did:
mysqld.exe --console also get error....
manual says to run bin\mysqld -- there's no such file in bin dir.. this
is frustrating.. (still don't know what happened.. why after having
used this server for about a year with no problems would I need to
restart server all of a sudden..)
ok, I think I need to switch to mysql newsgroup.. what a pain.. either
way thank you for your help..
