I figured that it was time to check out how to install, configure, run and use MySQL Cluster on Windows. To keep things simple, this first Cluster will all run on a single host but includes these nodes:
- 1 Management node (ndb_mgmd)
- 2 Data nodes (ndbd)
- 3 MySQL Server (API) nodes (mysqld)
Downloading and installing
Browse to the Windows section of the MySQL Cluster 7.0 download page and download the installer (32 or 64 bit).
MySQL Cluster Windows Installer
Run the .msi file and choose the “Custom” option. Don’t worry about the fact that it’s branded as “MySQL Server 7.0” and that you’ll go on to see adverts for MySQL Enterprise – that’s just an artefact of how the installer was put together.
On the next screen, I decided to change the “Install to” directory to “c:mysql” – not essential but it saves some typing later.
Go ahead and install the software and then you’ll be asked if you want to configure the server – uncheck that as we’ll want to tailor the configuration so that it works with our Cluster.
There are a couple of changes you need to make to your Windows configuration before going any further:
- Add the new bin folder to your path (in my case “C:mysqlbin”)
- Make hidden files visible (needed in order to set up multiple MySQL Server processes on the same machine)
Configure and run the Cluster
Copy the contents of “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data” to “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data4”, “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data5” and “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data6”. Note that this assumes that you’ve already made hidden files visible. Each of these folders will be used by one of the mysqld processes.
Create the folder “c:mysqlcluster” and then create the following files there:
config.ini
[ndbd default]
noofreplicas=2
[ndbd]
hostname=localhost
id=2
[ndbd]
hostname=localhost
id=3
[ndb_mgmd]
id = 1
hostname=localhost
[mysqld]
id=4
hostname=localhost
[mysqld]
id=5
hostname=localhost
[mysqld]
id=6
hostname=localhost
my.4.cnf
[mysqld]
ndb-nodeid=4
ndbcluster
datadir="C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data4"
port=3306
server-id=3306
my.5.cnf
[mysqld]
ndb-nodeid=5
ndbcluster
datadir="C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data5"
port=3307
server-id=3307
my.6.cnf
[mysqld]
ndb-nodeid=6
ndbcluster
datadir="C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data6"
port=3308
server-id=3308
Those files configure the nodes that make up the Cluster.
From a command prompt window, launch the management node:
C:UsersAndrew>cd mysqlcluster
C:mysqlcluster>ndb_mgmd -f config.ini
2009-06-16 20:01:20 [MgmSrvr] INFO -- NDB Cluster Management Server. mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6

2009-06-16 20:01:20 [MgmSrvr] INFO -- Reading cluster configuration from 'config.ini'
and then from another window, check that the cluster has been defined:
C:UsersAndrew>ndb_mgm
-- NDB Cluster -- Management Client --
ndb_mgm> show
Connected to Management Server at: localhost:1186
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)] 2 node(s)

[mysqld(API)] 3 node(s)
id=4 (not connected, accepting connect from localhost)
id=5 (not connected, accepting connect from localhost)
id=6 (not connected, accepting connect from localhost)
Fire up 2 more command prompt windows and launch the 2 data nodes:
C:UsersAndrew>ndbd

(repeat from another new window for the second data node).
After both data nodes (ndbd) have been launched, you should be able to see them through the management client:
ndb_mgm> show
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)] 2 node(s)
id=2 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6, Nodegroup: 0, Master)
id=3 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6, Nodegroup: 0)
[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)
id=1 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6)
[mysqld(API)] 3 node(s)
id=4 (not connected, accepting connect from localhost)
id=5 (not connected, accepting connect from localhost)
id=6 (not connected, accepting connect from localhost)
Finally, the 3 MySQL Server/API nodes should be lauched from 3 new windows:
C:UsersAndrew>cd mysqlcluster
C:mysqlcluster>mysqld --defaults-file=my.4.cnf
C:UsersAndrew>cd mysqlcluster
C:mysqlcluster>mysqld --defaults-file=my.5.cnf
C:UsersAndrew>cd mysqlcluster
C:mysqlcluster>mysqld --defaults-file=my.6.cnf
Now, just check that all of the Cluster nodes are now up and running from the management client…
ndb_mgm> show
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)] 2 node(s)
id=2 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6, Nodegroup: 0, Master)
id=3 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6, Nodegroup: 0)
[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)
id=1 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6)
[mysqld(API)] 3 node(s)
id=4 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6)
id=5 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6)
id=6 @127.0.0.1 (mysql-5.1.34 ndb-7.0.6)
Using the Cluster
There are now 3 API nodes/MySQL Servers/mgmds running; all accessing the same data. Each of those nodes can be accessed by the mysql client using the ports that were configured in the my.X.cnf files. For example, we can access the first of those nodes (node 4) in the following way from (yet another) window:
C:UsersAndrew>mysql -h localhost -P 3306
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2
Server version: 5.1.34-ndb-7.0.6-cluster-gpl MySQL Cluster Server (GPLType 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> use test;
Database changed
mysql> create table assets (name varchar(30) not null primary key, value int) engine=ndb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.44 sec
mysql> insert into assets values ('car', 950);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec
mysql> select * from assets;
+------+-------+

| car | 950 |
+------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec
mysql> insert into assets2 values ('car', 950);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
To check that everything is working correctly, we can access the same database through another of the API nodes:
C:UsersAndrew>mysql -h localhost -P 3307
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2
Server version: 5.1.34-ndb-7.0.6-cluster-gpl MySQL Cluster Server (GPL)
Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> use test;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
+----------------+
| Tables_in_test |
+----------------+
| assets |
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.06 sec)
mysql> select * from assets;
+------+-------+
| name | value |
+------+-------+
| car | 950 |
+------+-------+
1 row in set (0.09 sec)
It’s important to note that the table (and its contents) of any table created using the ndb storage engine can be accessed through any of the API nodes but those created using other storage engines are local to each of the API nodes (MySQL Servers).
Your next steps
This is a very simple, contrived set up – in any sensible deployment, the nodes would be spread accross multiple physical hosts in the interests of performance and redundancy. You’d also set several more variables in the configuration files in order to size and tune your Cluster. Finally, you’d likely want to have some of these processes running as daemons or services rather than firing up so many windows.
It’s important to note that Windows is not a fully supported platform for MySQL Cluster. If you have an interest in deploying a production system on Windows then please contact me at andrew@clusterdb.com

Hi
i tried this out.seems that the cluster is working, but when i am accesing it using mysql -h localhost -p 3307 . it asks for a password and when i give the previous password it shows
“access denied for user odbc@localhost.
what i did is that i unsinstalled the previous version of mysql 5.1. and then installed the mysql cluster. but it did not asked me for giving any password .
Please suggest how to go with it?
Have you made sure that permission has been granted for ‘odbc’@’localhost’? Try logging in with ‘mysql -u root’ to check and fix if needed.
hi it’s working..now . but how can i deploy it on other systems , so that i can use it from other systems…….how to get the more broader version of this….
please Reply…
hi Andrew.
i have some problem while making the data node on other system.when i configure all the files on my management node as described by the “DEPLOYING MYSQL CLUSTER OVER MULTIPLE HOST ON LINUX” .I am just extending it to windows.if use your example every thing is working fine…but when i make the data node on other system without making it as management node.when i issue the ndbd command…. it’s not able to identify the management node…
I am not getting it…Can you please help me..
it’s necessary….
Siddharth Prasad
Hi Siddharth,
are you specifying the correct IP address and port number (e.g. ndbd –initial -c 192.168.0.3:1186).
What error message did you get?
Regards, Andrew
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the Reply..Now it’s working..
i just have to give the managment node ip with the NDBD command and in the sql node Configuration file i just have to mention one more parametre called ndb-connectstring 192.168.1.8 the ip of the managment node…..
but every time i start my cluster i have to open like many command prompt windows…how to avoid this?
And Can you name some good resources about managing and using the cluster configuration?
Thanks
Siddharth prasad
Hi Andrew
there is a problem …when i start more than 4 data nodes . and use the
shell: ndb_mgm show command to see the status of the server.it says cannot get configuration,illegal reply from server..and the managment server crashes..
i searched the net and found that windows
” On Windows, the internal basestring_vsprintf() function did not return a POSIX-compliant value as expected, causing the management server to crash when trying to start a MySQL Cluster
with more than 4 data nodes.”
it will be nice of you,if you can help me out of this.
Thank you
siddharth Prasad
Hi Siddharth
You can pick up the fix by following the instructions in the bug report…. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=45733
Alternatively, you could wait for MySQL Cluster 7.0.7
Regards, Andrew.
Hi Andrew
sorry to disturb you again.
This time the problem is of speed.with 7 lacs records in a table A group by and order by sql query takes 32 secs to give the reply.
when i took the back up and executed it on other machine without clustering and with engine=innodb . that also takes approx 35 secs.
is it OK . or my clustering is not working .
i have a four data node , with 2 replica, 2 node group and 6 sql node clustering.
if it’s not ok what should i do? Waiting for the Reply.
Thank You
Siddharth Prasad
Hi, thanks for the great post, it helped me alot setting up my first cluster on Windows. I’ve got the cluster up and running but are now faced with a stability problem, it seems that “a little now and then” my datanodes simply shut down for no apparent reason. The shutdown is not synched though and it could well be that only one datanode shut down while the other (on a different server) keep running. This would be expected if I had any connection issues and one datanode lost contact with the management node and the other node, but as far as I can see there are no connection issues here. Do you know how I can proceed to find out what’s going on?
Hi Erik,
the first thing to check would be the log files – you should be able to recognise from the log files which data node each belongs too.
Once you’ve had a look and there’s no obvious cause from your side then search bugs.mysql.com to see if your problem has been raised before and then raise it if not.
Note that Windows is still considered a development-only platform for MySQL Cluster but bug reports are still gratefully received as that will help to bring it up to production level.
Regards, Andrew.
If it looks like there’s a problem
hi AndRew,
in this step: Copy the contents of “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data” to “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data4″
I try to find data directory in “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0” and “C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 7.0” but don’t have anything.
Please help me.
Thanks.
LanhVC,
did you first make sure that you’ve set up Windows to make hidden files visible?
Regards, Andrew.
I just tried to follow the instructions to create the cluster. After I typed ndbd, I got the errors:
Error setting NTFS compression attribute: 6
Error setting NTFS compression attribute: 6
Error setting NTFS compression attribute: 6
Error setting NTFS compression attribute: 6
Error setting NTFS compression attribute: 5
Error setting NTFS compression attribute: 5
Do you have any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks a lot
Hi Kelvin,
There’s a patch available (http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=44418) or you can wait for MySQL Cluster 7.0.7 binaries to be published or download the source from ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/cluster_telco/mysql-5.1.35-ndb-7.0.7/ and compile it for yourself.
Regards, Andrew.
hi ANDREW,
I maked hidden files visible.
I finded but have in “C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0”
is this directory needed to find?
this directory content all folder of database exist MySQL.
Thanks,
LanhVC.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I downloaded from the link provided but need to search for the tutorial on how to compile it in windows as I’ve never done this before.

Hi Alex,
could you please include the output from mysqld?
Thanks, Andrew.
hi andrew
the are no messages on the mysqld, as shown below :

Hi Andrew,
I’ve had the same problem and I fixed it. It was because I didn’t install the MySql Administrator wizard. And then restart your machine.
Sorry, my message was for Alex not Andrew.

Hi Alex,
I’ll be experimenting more on Windows soon – I’ll let you know if I seem anything similar.
Have you tried the suggestion from Xavi?
If that doesn’t help then I’d suggest searching bugs.mysql.com to see if anyone has raised a similar issue and create a bug report if they haven’t.
Andrew.
hi xavi
what do you mean about mysql administrator wizard..? do you mean mysql administrator GUI or else..?
regards
Alex
Hi there, i cant seem to connect my nodes. Same problem with alex…
Something has recently changed in Cluster that meant that the mysqld processes wouldn’t connect to the Cluster. I’ve now replaced “ndbcluster=true” with just “ndbcluster” in the my.X.cnf files and it should now work again.
Andrew.
Hi Andrew,
Currently i am using different hosts for my SQL nodes. However, they do seem to work when i fire them to start. I have tried alot of method but it just didnt work.

excellent tutorial!
Definitely helped me get my cluster working!
Thanks! =D
I cannot find the .msi file
where is it??
I searched the whole folder 🙁
Hi Mayank,
the MSI file will reappear soon. There has been a re-org of the MySQL site. For Windows go to dev.mysql.com and then get the Windows zip file from the “development” tab of the Cluster downloads page.
Take a look at http://www.clusterdb.com/mysql-cluster/running-mysql-cluster-over-multiple-servers/ to see how to install MySQL Cluster from the zip file.
Andrew.
Hi Andrew
I am using mysql-cluster-gpl-7.1.2a-beta-win32.zip version of MySQL Cluster.
I prepared the config.ini file but when I ran ndb_mgmd command, it is showing the following error:

Hi Andrew
I resolved this above issue of “config.ini” file read error by saving the file with Converter type as “default” in the file editor.
Now, the following processes are running as expected as discussed in the article “My first Cluster running on Windows”
(1) ndb_mgmd
(2) nbd_mgm
(3) ndbd
(4) ndbd
When I try to start the mysqld with the following commands,
C:mysqlcluster>mysqld –defaults-file=my.4.cnf
C:mysqlcluster>mysqld –defaults-file=my.5.cnf
C:mysqlcluster>mysqld –defaults-file=my.6.cnf
these commands make the processes to stay for two seconds and it exits by itself.
So, it is not shwoing any error messages also but in the ndb_mgmd console shows the following log messages:
reserved_nodes 1 and 4.
2010-04-20 14:46:30 [MgmtSrvr] INFO — Node 4: mysqld –server-id=3306

Anbu, Have you checked all of the error log files for more hints?
Regards, Andrew.
Hi Andrew
With respect to the above issue, following are the errors shown when I try to use the mysql client in the same desktop
C:mysqlmysql-cluster>mysql -h localhost -P 3306
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘localhost’ (10061)
C:mysqlmysql-cluster>mysql -h localhost -P 3307

C:mysqlmysql-cluster>mysql -h localhost -P 3308
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘localhost’ (10061)
Please help in resolving this above issues
Advance Thanks & Regards
Anbu
Hi Anbu,
have you used the Windows task manager to check if the mysqld processes are running? If so, try substituting ‘localhost’ with 127.0.0.1.
Andrew.
Hi Andrew
I have replaced the ‘localhost’ text with ‘127.0.0.1’ and I ran the ndb_mgmd, but there is no effect in the mysqld process execution. It has the same behavior as mentioned above.
Yes, I have used the Task Manager only to verify the processes running.
When I verified the mysqld error log file as mentioned by you, I am seeing the following error in it.
mysqld: Table ‘mysql.plugin’ doesn’t exist
100421 19:27:48 [ERROR] Can’t open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.

I have verified the MySQL forums to resolve these issues. They are describing that the MySQL System Table are not available properly and need to recreate them. For this, we need to execute the following commands
mysql_install_db
mysqld_safe
To run the first command, I need to execute the perl script file provided in the scripts folder but it is expecting that the MySQL Server should be installed in the following folder
C:Program FilesMySqlMySQL Server 5.1
As per our initial discussion in the article, the mysql cluster should be installed in the following folder
c:mysql
Please send your suggestion to resolve this issue of not starting the mysqld processes.
Advance Thanks
Anbu
Hi Anbu,
on Windows, I don’t use the mysql_install_db script (as I haven’t gone to the trouble of installing Perl); instead, I just copy the contents of the mysql database that came with the installation. This is described in the above blog entry.
Regards, Andrew.
Hi Andrew,
I have installed mysql-cluster-gpl-7.1.3 on my desktop.
Everything is working fine , except sqld
I have created a directory C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.1.3data4, then similarly data5 and data6 folders.
I then created in C:mysqlcluster my.4.cnf, my.5.cnf and my.6.cnf as mentioned in the above steps.
Following is what I have mentioned in the my.4.cnf file :-
[mysqld]
ndb-nodeid=4
ndbcluster=true
datadir=”C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.1.3data4″
port=3306
server-id=3306
Then I executed
mysqld –defaults-file=my.4.cnf from the command prompt and it gave me an error
[ERROR] Can’t find messagefile ‘C:mysqlshareenglisherrmsg.sys’
Later I created the folder hierarchy as shown above and created a empty text file errmsg.sys
I again executed the
mysqld –defaults-file=my.4.cnf from the command prompt and it gave me an error
[ERROR] Can’t read from messagefile ‘C:mysqlshareenglisherrmsg.sys’
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Rajendra,
one fix I can see – replace “ndbcluster=true” with just “ndbcluster”.
Andrew.
Hi Andrew,
I am getting the same error as Rajendra. But i used “ndbcluster” directly.
Can you please give me a guideline.
thanks in advance
manik
Hi Manik,
try including the MySQL installation base directory explicitly when you start the MySQL Server. e.g.
If this doesn’t work, try using the ZIP file rather than the MSI installer – as explained in http://www.clusterdb.com/mysql-cluster/running-mysql-cluster-over-multiple-servers/
Regards, Andrew.
thanks admin.
it now working.
i used the zip file.
manik
Got my cluster up and running.
I would be interested to see –
1. How I can run the nodes and the management server in the form of services
2. Or an alternate way by which I don’t have to manually run the command to start the nodes ..
Regards,
Sammy Lamba
Hi Sammy,
running as a service isn’t there today but it’s something that’s being worked on.
Regards, Andrew.
Sir, when I wanna access the first node, it asks me for a password and I don’t know where from I’d get the password as I’m a beginner.
And whats the name of the second data node other than ndbd. I’m waiting for your help.
When I type command “ndbd”, I can’t start the data node.
The error is
“2010-09-08 10:00:57 [ndbd] INFO — Angel connected to ‘localhost
2010-09-08 10:00:57 [ndbd] INFO — Angel allocated nodeid: 2”
Please help!
Hi Rabin,
are you still seeing this problem? If so, take a look inside the log files as there should be more clues in there.
Regards, Andrew.
Dear admin, I had finish this lab, but when I implement on
my website(Tomcat server), I don’t know how to connect to db using
mysql cluster because in Connection config, i can set only db
port.So,can you help me with an Web app demo with mysql clustering.
Thank you so much and best regards nguyenhuutinh
Haven’t tried it myself yet but if there is no way for you to specify the IP Address in addition to the port number then you could always run it on the same server as one of your mysqlds
Hi,
thanks for your post for installing mysql cluster on a sinlge windows 7 pc. What i need is to install mysql cluster on two windows 7 pcs so as to show a small desmonstration of the data replication as part of my final year project.
Is this possible? Is there any tutorial for this?
Panagiotis,
Yes – it is definitely possible – and for high availability it’s essential – to run the cluster over multiple Windows machine.
I don’t have a tutorial on this for Windows but if you combine the contents of this post with the Linux one from http://www.clusterdb.com/mysql-cluster/deploying-mysql-cluster-over-multiple-hosts/ you should be able to get it up and running pretty quickly.
Let me know how you get on!
Andrew.
Hi,
I want to install/configure mysql cluster on two nodes.
Kindly tell me how can I install this .
Kindly share the doc.
Hi Pradeep,
a good place to start would be http://www.clusterdb.com/mysql-cluster/running-mysql-cluster-over-multiple-servers/ which describes how to run MySQL Cluster over 3 Windows machines. Note that we don’t recommend using just 2 machines for deployment as to avoid a single point of failure, the management node should be on a different machine than the data nodes.
Andrew.
hey i followed the instructions but i am struck at
C:mysqlcluster>ndb_mgmd -f config.ini
it shows an error ‘ndb_mgmd’ is not recognised as an external or external command,operable program or batch file.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP
Hi bunty,
you either need to include MySQL Cluster’s bin folder in your Windows path or provide the full path to ndb_mgmd.exe when you invoke it.
Regards, Andrew.
sir
i followed ur tutorial but when i type
ndb_mgmd -f config.ini
its showin an error
ndb_mgmd is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
plzz help me out i m stuck
i wz tryn to install it on win 7
Everything’s working fine.
However, the ndbcluster engine is not being shown while exeucting ‘show engines’. Hence, i’m not able to create tables with ndbcluster engine support. Please help
Anand – a couple of things to check:
1) include the text “ndbcluster” in the config file for the mysqld
2) Make sure that there are no firewall rules preventing the mysqld connecting with the management and data nodes
3) make sure that you only use the mysqld that comes with the Cluster package.
Andrew.
Hi sir,
I followed your steps, but when I type command “show engines” Nbdcluster suppourt is “NO”
I checked the firewalls and they are disabled and I specified in the configuration file default-storage-engine=NDBCLUSTER
so what may be the cause of the problem
PLEAS HELP ME ASAP
Omar,
Check what’s displayed when you start the mysqld process.
Confirm that the management node and data nodes are running by executing ”ndb_mgm -e show”.
Confirm that you’re running the mysqld that came with MySQL Cluster rather than another one that you already had installed on the system.
Andrew.
Hi sir,
Thank you very much for your response, I followed your steps and these where the results
>Check what’s displayed when you start the >mysqld process.
that was the result:-
“welcome to MySQL monitor.
your MySQL connection id is 11
server version: 5.5.27-ndb-7.2.8-cluster-commercial-advanced MySQL Clusterserver – Advanced Edition”
>Confirm that the management node and data >nodes are running by executing ”ndb_mgm -e >show”.
I ran this command and it showed that all nodes are connected EXCEPT the SQL nodes
>Confirm that you’re running the mysqld that >came with MySQL Cluster rather than another >one that you already had installed on the >system
I confirm that the mysqld that came with MYSQL cluster is the one running.
best regards,
Omar
Omar, try running with the -vv option as it may give more clues. Have you checked the Cluster log (should be in the datadir of the management node)?
Thank you very much for your support!! highly appreciated, the problem has been solved, but another problem arised. I have two data nodes first one with nodeid=6 and the other one with nodeid=25, when I first started I typed the command “ndbd –initial” and the angle was connected and allocated correctly, then I typed the “show” command on the Managment node and the results where:
id=6 @192.x.x.x (…, starting,nodegroup:0)
id=6 @192.x.x.x (…, starting,nodegroup:0)
then it shows a message:
node 25:forced shutdown completed. occuring during startphase 0, Initiated by single 9
and when I typed the “show command again this was the status:
id=6 @192.x.x.x (…, starting,nodegroup:0)
id=6 (not connected, accepting connect from 192.x.x.x)
so how can I resolve this issue.
thank you for your support
best regards,
omar
sorry correction: the output of the last “show” command is:
id=6 @192.x.x.x (…, starting,nodegroup:0)
id=25 (not connected, accepting connect from 192.x.x.x)
There is no .MSI file in the installation pacakge. just a zip package.
Is there a way to install it using the MSI? I am just wondering if the MSI is missing
Hi Karen,
at present, there is no MSI available and so you’ll have to use the zip.
Best Regards, Andrew.

Gaurav,
double check that the mysqld you’re using is one that came as part of a MySQL Cluster package – this error suggests that you’re using a “reguar” mysqld instead.
Andrew.
Hi Andrew
Thanks for your effort for explaining the cluster setup,
I successfully configured mysql cluster with the help of you tutorial.
Regards
Gaurav
why i can still cant find this directory from my instalation even i have folder alredy visible ??
Copy the contents of “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data” to “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data4″, “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data5″ and “C:ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 7.0data6″. Note that this assumes that you’ve already made hidden files visible. Each of these folders will be used by one of the mysqld processes.
My Version Sql Cluster is 7.3.3
thx for helping me.
The best way to setup MySQL Cluster on Windows these days is to use the auto-installer – see MySQL Cluster 7.3 GA – Includes MySQL Cluster Auto-Installer.
