MySQL service can not start on Windows after changes in my.ini
After changes in my.ini
configuration file you can face issue when MySQL service restart takes forever. Actually it just hang. That problem occurs especially on Windows 7 when notepad.exe
saves file with wrong encoding after your changes. It can be UTF-8 BOM
. That’s why MySQL service can not start. Check encoding of my.ini
, it have to be UTF-8
.
