(Or, if you do unzip this - archive into the same location as your existing installation, do NOT - unpack the 'data' subdirectory. If you unpack the 'data' directory, - your existing databases will be overwritten.) - -* Shut down all MySQL server processes/services. - -* Remove the Win32 MySQL service (if appropriate for your OS): - - c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --remove - -* Exit 'WinMySQLAdmin' (if it is running). - -* If you unzipped this archive into a directory different than that - of your existing MySQL installation, copy from the archive all its - directories and their contents EXCEPT the 'data' directory into the - existing installation. - -* Start the MySQL server with the '--skip-grant-tables' option. Assuming - your MySQL installation is located at 'c:\mysql', the command looks like - this: - - c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt --skip-grant-tables - - If your installation is located in some other directory, adjust the - pathname in that command (and in the following commands). - -* Execute the 'mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql' script that is located in - the 'scripts' directory: - - c:\mysql\bin\mysql -f mysql < c:\mysql\scripts\mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql - - This script performs any actions necessary to convert your grant tables - to the current format. You may see some "duplicate column" warnings as - it runs; these can be ignored. - -* Stop the server: - - c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root shutdown - -* Re-install the Win32 MySQL service (if required): - - c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install - -* Re-start the server or service using your normal startup procedure. - -** Further Questions ** - -You can find further information about running MySQL on Windows in the -manual that ships in the 'Doc' subdirectory, or online at the MySQL AB -web site: - -http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Windows.html - -- cgit v1.2.1
