MySQL Cluster: cannot start the management node

Question

When I try to start the management node of MySQL Cluter on Windows platform. I get the following errors, could someone give some ideas? Could neither create or open key 'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\MySQL Cluster Management Server', error: 5 Failed to setup event logging*

Answer 1

I believe that you can ignore this error as the mysqld should still start up.

However in trying to reproduce the problem, I've found a glitch in the quick start guide for Windows, a "-" has been substituted with a "–", the correct options for the mysql client should be "-h 127.0.0.1 -P5000 -u root".

Try this out (i.e. type out the option rather than cutting and pasting from the quick start guide).

With the wrong character, the mysql client refuses to connect to the mysqld which could give the impression that the mysqld process wasn't running correctly.
