Re: Unable to install in win 2016 Server Core

[JOSE RAMIREZ]

Hello Faizulla,

good to hear that you were able to resolve the issue.

For future reference, note that the "mysqld" command is usually used to initialize and start the server. By default, errors and logging info are sent to the <user>.err and <user>.log files respectively located in the "data" folder. If you want the output in the console add the "--console" option. I suspect you executed "mysqld -version" instead of the mentioned "mysql -version" since it behaves as you reported. Note that "-version" should be "--version" instead.

On the other hand, the "mysql" command is a command line tool which you can use to perform operations on the server once it is already running. It also supports the "--version" option.

Documentation on both commands can be found at:
- mysqld: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/server-options.html
- mysql: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql.html
