The final dialog in the MySQL Server Instance 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 Server Instance Configuration Wizard without configuring the server, click the Cancel button.
After you click the Execute button, the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard performs a series of tasks and displays the progress onscreen as the tasks are performed.
The MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard first
determines 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 the corresponding configuration file.
If you chose to create a service for the MySQL server, the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard creates and starts the service. If you are reconfiguring an existing service, the MySQL Server Instance 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 Server Instance Configuration Wizard has completed its tasks, it displays a summary. Click the Finish button to exit the MySQL Server 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.
