When upgrading MySQL under Windows, please follow these steps:
NET STOP MySQL
or with
the Services
utility if you
are running MySQL as a service, or with mysqladmin shutdown
otherwise).
WinMySQLAdmin
program if it is running.
Important note: Early alpha Windows distributions for MySQL 4.1 do not contain any installer program. See 2.2.1.2 Installing a Windows Binary Distribution for instructions on how to install such a distribution.
C:\mysql4
. Overwriting the old installation is recommended.
NET START MySQL
if you run MySQL
as a service, or by invoking mysqld
directly otherwise).
Possible error situations:
A system error has occurred. System error 1067 has occurred. The process terminated unexpectedly. |
This error means that your `my.cnf' file (by default `C:\my.cnf') contains an option that cannot be recognized by MySQL. You can verify that this is the case by trying to restart MySQL with the `my.cnf' file renamed, for example, to `my_cnf.old' to prevent the server from using it. Once you have verified it, you need to identify which option is the culprit. Create a new `my.cnf' file and move parts of the old file to it (restarting the server after you move each part) until you determine which option causes server startup to fail.
