file options based on your choices using a template prepared
by MySQL AB developers and engineers. This template is named
my-template.ini and is located in your
server installation directory.
The MySQL Configuration Wizard then writes these options to a
my.ini file. The final location of the
my.ini file is displayed next to the
Write configuration file task.
If you chose to create a service for the MySQL server the
MySQL Configuration Wizard creates and starts the service. If
you are reconfiguring an existing service, the MySQL
Configuration Wizard restarts the service to apply your
configuration changes.
If you chose to set a root password, the
MySQL Configuration Wizard connects to the server, sets your
new root password and applies any other
security settings you may have selected.
After the MySQL Configuration Wizard has completed its tasks,
a summary is displayed. Click the
Finish button to exit the MySQL
Configuration Wizard.
