Re: Modifying the mysql default data location

By default, MySQL 5.6 installs MySQL as a service owned by NETWORK_SERVICE.
If you move the data folder, you'll either need to give NETWORK_SERVICE READ/WRITE permission on the new folder (it doesn't normally have it by default), or change MySQL service to be owned by SYSTEM, which does have READ/WRITE permission on all folders.

Good luck,
Barry.
