I have installed MySQL 5.1.49 on Windows Server 2003 (Datacenter Edition SP2).
During installation I left everything as default and things worked. Later I changed the datapath in my.ini to point a network drive after I copied the existing database to that drive.
Now MySQL doesn't start as a service anymore. It produces the error message: "Can't create test file R:\Database\Data\server-w2k3.lower-test" and then terminates the service.
I checked the drive for permissions and manually created said file. So it's not a permission problem.
I searched the forums/docs and they say, that this error can safely be ignored. Which to some extend seems to be true: if I start mysqld from a command line, everything is hunky-dory!
Anyone can help me with this?
