Re: Change datadir for MySQL 5.6 on Windows XP

You can't run mysql server with the data folder on a network drive.

To move datadir to another local folder, you'll need to stop mysql server, COPY the existing data folder to the new location, edit my.ini to point to the new location, then start mysql server.

Other users can access your server on the network if you open port 3306 in the firewall on your machine, and provide a mysql user for them to login with.

Good luck,
Barry.
