try to put the path to the defaults-file in quotes: also windows perfer backslash instead of forward-slash c:mysqld-nt --install mysqld2 --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\xampp\mysql\bin\my_opts5.cnf" in your *.cnf be sure to assign different ports for each server to listen on.

Jesper -----Original Message----- From: Miles Thompson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 11. maj 2006 03:05 To: [email protected] Subject: Unknown option --install I am trying to install two MySQL servers to run as Windows XP services. One for work with php-gtk+ as mysqld1, MySQL 3.23.55 on port 3306 and another as mysqld2, MySQL 5.0.20 on port 3308 for PHP5 development and testing. I'm following the manual's instructions in section 5.13.1.2. Starting Multiple Windows Servers as Services found at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/multiple-windows-services.html The installation of mysqd1 went fine, but I consistently get an error when trying to install mysqld2, like so: C:\PROGRA~1\xampp\mysql\bin>mysqld-nt --install mysqld2 --defaults-file=C:/Program Files/xampp/mysql/bin/my_opts5.cnf Which returns this error: 060510 12:18:34 [ERROR] mysqld-nt: unknown option '--install' Huh? It's listed as one of the parameters after issuing mysqld-nt --help --verbose. More background: The previous instances of MySQL services have been removed. Have tried both forward "/" and back "\" slashes in the defaults-file path Console window has been closed and reopened. mysql.ini in the \Windows directory has been renamed to mysql.ini.old Does anyone have any suggestions? They will be most welcome. Regards - Miles Thompson -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
