Installing MySQL service on windows

[brembold]

Hey all,

I'm trying to get my User Application to run as a service.

I'm first trying to get MySQL installed as a service. I modified the my.ini file and took out the # for the password and entered the password for the user.

I installed the service using bin\mysqld -install MySQL.

When I try and start the service it fails throwing a 1067 error.

The only thing I can think of is that it's not using the correct user/pass for the service.

Do I need to specify the user in the my.ini file? does it default to using the root user? and then i put the root password in the password = (password).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
