Ever installed MySQL on a network drive? Strange error!

Hello,

I want to install the current version 4.0.13 of MySQL on a Win2000
machine in a directory different to the default (C:\mysql). It should
be a network drive, as this is backed up by our IT staff.

I install the package using setup.exe and selecting "Custom" but just
clicking OK on the following dialogue. As directory I selected
something like "H:\....\MySQL_ 4.0.13".

The package is installed correctly. I can install the service (mysqld
--install) and see it in the Service catalogue of Win2K. However, when
I want to run the service with "net start mysql" an error occurs:

System error 65 has occured.
Network access is denied.

I checked the security settings on the directories, but I had the
change priviledges. Setting them to "full access" didn't improve the
situation.

MySQL only works when I install it entirely on C:.

What am I missing here? I would like the installation to reside on a
network drive for the reasons outlined above.

Thanks for your help,
Jens-Uwe

Hi, I would like to have MySQL use a mapped network drive. I'd like to do this in case there is a failure of the mysql machine, I can just replace it with a new machine pointing to the same network drive. Is this possible at all? Thanks, Andre M. Descombes

Hi All, I am trying to access a mapped network drive from a service that I have created. The service needs to create/delete folders/files on a network drive.

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
