deamon fails to start in windows

I've experienced this a couple of times on different Windows
workstations and it's driving me crazy. I've installed mysql-4.0 from
the installer to c:\mysql. Then just for kicks I try to start it by
double clicking mysqld-nt.exe. It opens a window and hangs for about
15 seconds then closes. So i opened a command prompt and ran it, same
thing. I've discovered that if I put anything on the command line as
a parameter it will start. Also, installation as a service is failing
because it sets the service up to run "c:\mysqld-nt.exe MySQL" which
is the wrong location. I setup the my.cnf from those provided in the
install and it still doesn't work. I put garbage characters into the
my.cnf file to see if it was even reading it. It did nothing. BUT
then I ran it with "mysqld-nt.exe --" and it complained about the
screwed up conf file. If I remove the my.cnf file and run it with
"mysqld-nt.exe --", it works. So I can't do mysqld-nt.exe log-error"
because it works right then. Can I get logging without that
parameter? Any ideas PLEASE? It's freaking me out.

Hi, I am writing a windows service. The code runs fine when I start the service when my machine is running but it fails to start automatically when the machine reboots. The code bombs out when it reaches code that tries to access a singleton class. This is the code.

I have written a rather simple php script using class_jabber.php (http://www.centova.com). It just logs in as a bot, and keeps track of the on/offline status of our support staff (writing to a firebird2 table). It works fine as is when it's running. The problem is that the daemon will stop working (exits memory) without any trace in the log files after seemingly random amounts of time. I use set_time_limit(0); to prevent PHP stopping...

I have a solution consisting of a c# project as win application and a c++ project as classlibrary.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
