Description:
I install MySql Server 4.0.24 in a Win98 machine, I would like to use it as standalone machine.

So, I run 

C:\MySql\bin\ mysqld --install

and I get:
ERROR: UNKNOWN VARIABLE 'default-storage-engine=INNODB'

Please let me know how can I start the service in Win98.

Thanks in advance for your help,

How to repeat:
I think that just trying to mysqld --install

thanks again

Win98 no supports services only Windows of NT family.
Use instead from DOS prompt:

mysqld --standalone --console

Thanks for your help, I also try this in dos, but the error is the same,

According the Manual:

--default-storage-engine=type 

This option is a synonym for --default-table-type. It is available as of MySQL 4.1.2. 

So how you are using 4.0.24 you got that error. Go to your my.ini file
and remove that line or comment it with #.

thanks again,
this error qo away, but I get another error:
Can't create IP socket : no error
aborting
c:/mysql/bin/mysqld.exe : got signal 11 aborting

do you know what thats means ? am really lost.

another Q: if I have a net peer-to-peer on Win98 can I use MySql as a network ?
               or what means "standalone" option ?

Thanks again for your help & time,
