manual.texi Any server can be installed as a service under NT

named pipe connections.  You should use either @code{mysqld-nt} or

@code{mysqld-max-nt}.)

If @code{mysqld} doesn't start, please check whether or not the

@file{\mysql\data\mysql.err} file contains any reason for this.  You can also

try to start the server with @code{mysqld --standalone};  In this case, you may

get some useful information on the screen that may help solve the problem.

If @code{mysqld} doesn't start, please check the

@file{\mysql\data\mysql.err} file to see if the server wrote any message

there to indicate the cause of the problem.  You can also try to start

the server with @code{mysqld --standalone};  In this case, you may get

some useful information on the screen that may help solve the problem.

The last option is to start @code{mysqld} with @code{--standalone

--debug}.  In this case @code{mysqld} will write a log file

C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-max-nt --install

(You can also use @code{mysqld} binaries that don't end with

@code{-nt.exe} on NT, but those cannot be started as a service or use

named pipes.)

(Under Windows NT, you can actually install any of the server binaries

as a service, but only those having names that end with @code{-nt.exe}

provide support for named pipes.)

You can start and stop the @strong{MySQL} service with these commands:
