@subsection Installing MySQL on Windows
The following instructions apply to precompiled binary distributions.
If you download a source distribution, you will have to compile and install
it yourself.
The MySQL server for Windows is available in two distribution types:
@enumerate
@item
The binary distribution contains a setup program which installs
everything you need so you can start the server immediately.
@item
The source distribution contains all the code and support files
for building the executables using the VC++ 6.0 compiler.
@xref{Windows source build}.
@end enumerate
If you don't have a copy of the MySQL distribution, you should
first download one from @uref{http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html}.
Generally speaking, you should use the binary distribution.
If you plan to connect to MySQL from some other program, you will
probably also need the @strong{MyODBC} driver. You can find this at the
@strong{MyODBC} download page
(@uref{http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-myodbc.html}).
You will need the following:
@itemize @bullet
@item
A Windows 32 bits Operational System of the family Win9x, ME,
NT and Win 2000. The NT family permits running the MySQL server
as a service. @xref{NT start}.
@item
TCP/IP protocol support.
@item
A copy of the MySQL binary or distribution for Windows, which
can be downloaded from @uref{http://www.mysql.com/downloads/}.
To install either distribution, unzip it in some empty directory and run the
@code{Setup.exe} program.
Note: The distribution files are supplied with a zipped format
and we recommended the use of an adequate FTP client with resume
feature to avoid corruption of files during the download process.
@item
A @code{ZIP} program to unpacked the distribution file.
@item
Enough space on the hard drive to unpack, install and to create the
databases in accorandance with your requirements.
@item
If you plan to connect to the MySQL server via @code{ODBC}, you
will also need the @code{MyODBC} driver. @xref{ODBC}.

By default, MySQL-Windows is configured to be installed in
@file{C:\mysql}. If you want to install MySQL elsewhere,
install it in @file{C:\mysql} first, then move the installation to
where you want it. If you do move MySQL, you must indicate
where everything is located by supplying a @code{--basedir} option when
you start the server. For example, if you have moved the MySQL
distribution to @file{D:\programs\mysql}, you must start @code{mysqld}
like this:

@end menu
@node Windows binary installation, Windows prepare environment, Windows installation, Windows installation
@subsubsection Installing the binaries
@enumerate
@item
If you are working on an NT or Win2000 server, logon as a user with
with administrator privileges.
@item
If you are doing an upgrade of an earlier MySQL installation,
it is necessary to stop the server. If you are running the server
as a service, use:
@example
C:\> D:\programs\mysql\bin\mysqld --basedir D:\programs\mysql
C:\> NET STOP mysql
@end example
Use @code{mysqld --help} to display all the options that @code{mysqld}
understands!
Otherwise, use:
With all newer MySQL versions, you can also create a
@file{C:\my.cnf} file that holds any default options for the
MySQL server. Copy the file @file{\mysql\my-xxxxx.cnf} to
@file{C:\my.cnf} and edit it to suit your setup. Note that you should
specify all paths with @samp{/} instead of @samp{\}. If you use
@samp{\}, you need to specify it twice, because @samp{\} is the escape
character in MySQL. @xref{Option files}.
@example
C:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root shutdown
@end example
@item
On NT/Win2000 machines, if you want to change the server executable
(e.g. -max or -nt), it is also necessary to remove the service:
@example
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-max-nt --remove
@end example
@item
Unzip the distribution file to a temporary directory.
@item
Run the @file{setup.exe} file to begin the installation process.
If you want to install into another directory than the default
@file{c:\mysql}, use the @code{Browse} button to specify your
preferred directory.
@item
Finish the install process.

@subsubsection Preparing the MySQL environment
Starting with MySQL 3.23.38, the Windows distribution includes
both the normal and the @strong{MySQL-Max} binaries. The main benefit
of using the normal @code{mysqld.exe} binary is that it's a little
faster and uses less resources.

All of the above binaries are optimized for the Pentium Pro
processor but should work on any Intel processor >= i386.
NOTE: If you want to use InnoDB tables, there are certain startup
options that must be specified in your @file{my.ini} file! @xref{InnoDB start}.
In the following circumstances you will need to use the MySQL
configuration file:
@itemize @bullet
@item
The install directory is different than the default @file{c:\mysql}.
@item
If you want to use one of the these servers:
@itemize @bullet
@item mysqld.exe
@item mysqld-max.exe
@item mysqld-max-nt.exe
@end itemize
@item
If you need to tune the server settings.
@end itemize
There are two configuration files with the same function:
@file{my.cnf} and @file{my.ini} file, however please note that
only of one these should can used. Both files are plain text.
The @file{my.cnf} file should be created in the root directory
of drive C and the @file{my.ini} file on the WinDir directory
e.g: @file{C:\WINDOWS} or @file{C:\WINNT}.
If your PC uses a boot loader where the C drive isn't the boot
drive, then your only option is to use the @file{my.ini} file.
Also note that if you use the @code{WinMySQLAdmin} tool, only
the @file{my.ini} file is used. The @file{\mysql\bin} directory
contains a help file with instructions for using this tool.
Using @code{notepad.exe}, create the configuration file and
edit the base section and keys:
@example
[mysqld]
basedir=the_install_path #e.g. c:/mysql
datadir=the_data_path #e.g. c:/mysql/data or d:/mydata/data
@end example
If the data directory is other than the default
@file{c:\mysql\data}, you must cut the whole @file{\data\mysql}
directory and paste it on the your option new directory,
e.g.: @file{d:\mydata\mysql}.
Note that you should specify all paths with @samp{/} or @samp{\\}
instead of @samp{\}, because @samp{\} is the escape character in
MySQL. @xref{Option files}.
If you want to use the @code{InnoDB} transactional tables, you
need to manually create two new directories to hold the InnoDB
data and log files, e.g. @file{c:\ibdata} and @file{c:\iblogs}.
You will also need to add some extra lines to the configuration
file. @xref{InnoDB start}.
If you don't want to use @code{InnoDB} tables, add the
@code{skip-innodb} option to the configuration file.
Now you are ready to test starting the server.
@node Windows server first start, , Windows prepare environment, Windows installation
@subsubsection Starting the server for the first time
Testing from a DOS command prompt is the best thing to do because
the server prints messages, so if something is wrong with your
configuration you will see a more accurate error message which
will make it easier for you to identify and fix any problems.
Make sure you are in the right directory, then enter:
@example
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-max --standalone
@end example
You should see the below print messages:
@example
InnoDB: The first specified data file c:\ibdata\ibdata1 did not exist:

Note that everything in the following that applies for NT also applies
for Win2000!
For NT/Win2000, the server name is @code{mysqld-nt}. Normally you
should install MySQL as a service on NT/Win2000:
Normally you should install MySQL as a service on NT/Win2000.
In case the server was already running, first stop it using
the following command:
@example
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install
C:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root shutdown
@end example
or
Now install the server service:
@example
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-max-nt --install
@end example
For information about which server binary to run, see
@ref{Windows prepare environment}.
Please note that from MySQL version 3.23.44, you have the choice
to set up the service as Manual (if you don't wish the Windows
Service Control Manager SCM to automatically start the server
during the boot process):
@example
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-max-nt --install-manual
@end example
To start or stop the MySQL server service:
@example
C:\> NET START MySQL
C:\> NET STOP MySQL
@end example
The service is installed with the name @code{MySQL}. Once
installed, it must be started using the Services Control
Manager (SCM) Utility found in the Control Panel, or by
using the @code{NET START MySQL} command.
If any options are required, they must be specified as
``Startup parameters'' in the SCM utility before you
start the MySQL service.
Once running, @code{mysqld-max-nt} can be stopped using
@code{mysqladmin}, from the SCM utility or by using the
command @code{NET STOP MySQL}.
If you use SCM to stop @code{mysqld-max-nt}, there is a strange
message from SCM about @code{mysqld shutdown normally}.
When run as a service, @code{mysqld-max-nt} has no access to a
console and so no messages can be seen.
On NT/2000 you can get the following service error messages:
@multitable @columnfractions .3 .7
@item Permission Denied @tab
Means that it cannot find @code{mysqld-max-nt.exe}.
@item Cannot Register @tab
Means that the path is incorrect.
@item Failed to install service. @tab
Means that the service is already installed or that the Service
Control Manager is in bad state.

If you have problems installing @code{mysqld-max-nt} as a
service, try starting it with the full path:
@example
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-max-nt --install
@end example
(Under Windows NT, you can actually install any of the server binaries
as a service, but only those having names that end with @code{-nt.exe}
provide support for named pipes.)
If this doesn't work, you can get @code{mysqld-max-nt} to start
properly by fixing the path in the registry!
You can start and stop the MySQL service with these commands:
If you don't want to start @code{mysqld-max-nt} as a service,

Note that in this case you can't use any other options for @code{mysqld-nt}!
You can also run @code{mysqld-nt} as a stand-alone program on NT if you need
to start @code{mysqld-nt} with any options! If you start @code{mysqld-nt}
