When solving server problems, your first data is error logs. The MySQL server uses error logs to record the information that the server cannot start. The error log is located in the data directory specified by the my. ini file. The default data directory is in C: Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.1dat.

Another Error-related information source is the message displayed on the console when the MySQL service is started. After installing mysqld as a service, run the net start mysql command on the command line to view the error messages related to MySQL service startup.

The following describes the most common error messages that MySQL will encounter when it is installed and started for the first time:

· System error 1067 has occurred.

· Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql. host' doesn' t exist

· The message is displayed when the MySQL server cannot find the MySQL permission database or key files. This problem is often encountered when the MySQL base or data directory is not installed in the default location (C: mysql and C: Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.1 data.

This problem occurs when MySQL is upgraded or installed to a new location, but the configuration file is not updated to match the new installation location. In addition, the old and new configuration files may conflict. When upgrading MySQL, you must delete or rename the old configuration file.

If you have not installed MySQL to the C: Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.1 directory, but to other directories, you need to use the configuration (my. ini) file to let the MySQL server know the installation directory. The my. ini file should be located in the Windows directory, typically C: WINNT or C: WINDOWS. You can enter the following command at the command prompt to determine the exact position from the WINDIR environment variable value:

C:> echo % WINDIR % you can use a text editor (such as NotePad) to create and modify the option file. For example, if MySQL is installed in E: mysql and the data directory is in D: MySQLdata, you can create an option file and set [mysqld] to specify the value of the basedir and datadir parameters:

[Mysqld]

# Set basedir to your installation path

Basedir = E:/mysql

# Set datadir to the location of your data directory

Datadir = D:/MySQLdata
