MySQL won't start on other device

matsn0w

Hello there,

Let me start with thanking you for this fantastic tool!

I just moved from WAMP to Laragon last week. Main reason was because of the portability. I want to sync my Laragon folder between my desktop and my laptop through a cloud service (similar to Dropbox).

I have installed the full version of Laragon on my desktop. This works like a charm. I put the entire Laragon folder on my cloud drive.
Then on my laptop, I synced the folder and started Laragon. Apache works, but MySQL is throwing an error. See logs below:

What is going wrong here? I tried renaming the data/ folder. It worked then, but that won't give me my databases

I'm assuming some directory/configuration mismatch?

Thanks in advance,

@matsn0w the same error was reported here: https://forum.laragon.org/topic/1884/new-install-of-laragon-mysql-fails-after-a-few-seconds-on-startup/4

Seams an odd fix to add two config items to the my.ini, start MySQL, reboot and revert them, but maybe worth a try.

@matsn0w : Database transactions are complicated to achieve ACID. Therefore you need to stop MySQL before syncing.
