The final dialog in the MySQL Configuration Wizard is the Confirmation Dialog. To start the configuration process, click the Execute button. To return to a previous dialog, click the Back button. To exit the MySQL Configuration Wizard without configuring the server, click the Cancel button.
After you click the Execute button, the MySQL Configuration Wizard performs a series of tasks and displays the progress onscreen as the tasks are performed.
The MySQL Configuration Wizard firsts determines various
configuration file options based on your choices using a
template prepared by MySQL developers and engineers. This
template is named my-template.ini
and is
located in your server installation directory.
The MySQL Configuration Wizard then writes these options to a
my.ini
file. The final location of the
my.ini
file is displayed next to the
Write configuration file task.
If you chose to create a service for the MySQL server, the MySQL Configuration Wizard creates and starts the service. If you are reconfiguring an existing service, the MySQL Configuration Wizard restarts the service to apply your configuration changes.
If you chose to set a root
password, the
MySQL Configuration Wizard connects to the server, sets your
new root
password and applies any other
security settings you may have selected.
After the MySQL Configuration Wizard has completed its tasks, it displays a summary. Click the Finish button to exit the MySQL Configuration Wizard.
User Comments
The wizard will sometimes report that the service did not start.
One should manually check to determine if the service is running with services.msc or command line NET START.
