I am graceful to Dustin for this guide, it was my salvation! Thank you!

Yesterday my server crashes, but was possible recover the files with this guide. My version of MySQL is 5.1 on Windows system and I want to share 2 differences to 4.0 versions that can be useful to anyone:

- The log file is in root folder of MySQL Server and not in Bin folder and his name is my.ini
- There is no need to change mysql_start.bat, in fact, he don’t exists

Best regards to all,
David

Hi everybody.

I was very happy when I saw this website because I have the same problem.

You used Xampp but I don’t use Xampp. My sistems php, mysql, apache.if I install Xampp are installed separetely, Can Xammp system affect my system ?

Xammp is set of programs isn’t it? Do you think I Should install Xammp in my computer Because There are lots of complicate configuration in my computer apache httpd.conf file, php.ini file, my.ini file I’m afraid they can change.

My friend brought mysql files to me. He didn’t get as the export his mysql files, some files MyISAM and other files innodb.

my mysql server version was 4.0.15 and I stopped the mysql server and then

I moved into his mysql files to my mysql data file
My mysql data path :”C:\PROGRAM FILES\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\data\”

then I started the mysql server but it couldn’t read innodb files.

and I deleted this verison(version 4.0.15). and then I installed mysql version 4.1.16 in my computer

but the mysql server still couldn’t read innodb files. Afterwards I understood. the problem concerned ibdata1 files

I searched on the internet, saw this website. I stopped the mysql server,I added these codes:

” innodb_data_home_dir = C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\data\
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend ” in my.ini files

and then started it couldn’t run these codes

I didn’t sleep since one weeks because of this problem and I haven’t solved this problem yet Innodb’s files is very important for me.
How can I solve this problem I don’t know.

Can you help me please. I’m looking forward to your support
