Problem :
I have very recently installed the MySQL community server 5.7.10 using binary zip. I have also extracted the zip in the c:\mysql and created my data folder in c:\mysql\data. I have also created the config file as my.ini and placed it in the c:\mysql in the root folder of the extracted zip. Following is the content of the my.ini file:
# set basedir to your installation path
basedir=C:\mysql
# set datadir to the location of your data directory
datadir=C:\mysql\data
I want to start MySQL using mysqld --console, but the process is often aborted with the following error message :
2019-12-14T18:04:01.141930Z 0 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist
2019-12-14T18:04:01.141930Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting
Please let me know if you have any solution on above error message.
