WampServer

I intalled wamp64. The wampapache64 and wampmariadb services run fine but wampmysql64 does not run. When I try to run it from windows services.msc it tells me that the service started but that it immediately went out maybe because no process was using it.
I searched for the address of the database file in my. ini and I found:
datadir = "c: /wamp64/bin/mysql/mysql5.7.24/data".
However, the "data" folder does not exist, how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You are in one of the very, very rare cases where it is impossible for MySQL to create the data folder because of the configuration and relationship between the physical and logical sectors of the hard disk.
There is no solution for MySQL to create the data folder.

The solution you have is to use MariaDB instead of MySQL and disable MySQL.

- Desactivate MySQL
-- Right-Click -> Wamp Settings -> Allow MySQL ... to uncheck it
- Make MariaDB default DBMS
-- Right-Click -> Tools -> Use a port other than 3307 ... choose 3306

Thank you for your prompt and timely response, I appreciate your help. It has freed me from a great unfruitful job, I will not give it more laps and I will take your advice.

Thanks Otomatic

Hello Otomatic.

I deactivated mysql on wamp setting and left activated mariadb. Then I changed the port from mariadb to 3306 on tools. Is it all I have to do?

Thanks in advanced

Hi,

Now, it's going to be, in a way, transparent to you.
You will use MariaDB as if you were using MySQL.
There is nothing to change in database connection procedures or SQL queries.
