Due to space limitations (my desktop is configured with a small-ish SSD as its C: drive) I need to keep my databases to a different drive.

I would expect to be able to do this by editing the my.ini, thus:

  1. Open the AMPPS control panel
  2. Stop Apache & MySQL
  3. Click on the MySQL tab, then Configuration
  4. Edit the datadir parameter to point to the new location
  5. Restart Apache & MySQL


When I do this, MySQL won't start. No error messages are written to the MySQL log.

I used essentially this procedure to move the datafile on a Windows 2012 server (not using AMPPS) just the other day, and it worked fine. On this Windows 7 desktop running AMPPS, it's failing. What do I need to do in order to successfully move the data directory when using AMPPS on Windows 7?
