Resolved Plesk SQL Server service won't start

Bosa

New Pleskian
Please help me. My Plesk SQL Server refuses to start. Initially I messed up with the "my.ini" file but now I have changed it back to:

[client]
port=8306
[PleskSQLServer]
port=8306
basedir=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Parallels\\Plesk\\MySQL
datadir=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Parallels\\Plesk\\MySQL\\Data
character-set-server=latin1
default-storage-engine=INNODB
query_cache_size=8M
table_cache=32
tmp_table_size=7M
thread_cache=32
myisam_max_sort_file_size=100G
myisam_sort_buffer_size=2M
key_buffer_size=2M
read_buffer_size=1M
read_rnd_buffer_size=256K
sort_buffer_size=256K
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=2M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
innodb_log_buffer_size=1M
innodb_buffer_pool_size=16M
innodb_log_file_size=10M
innodb_thread_concurrency=8
max_connections=300
key_buffer=4M
max_allowed_packet=1M
sort_buffer=256K
net_buffer_length=4K
old_passwords=0
tmpdir=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Parallels\\Plesk\\MySQL\\Data
connect_timeout=20

But yet the Plesk SQL Server keeps terminating whenever I try to start it. Please help.
 
What exactly error you see?

Please check log file located in:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Parallels\\Plesk\\MySQL\\Data
 
Sorry! My bad. I copied the default Plesk SQL config file from the web and "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Parallels\\Plesk" was not my Plesk location. When I corrected it. The service started.

Thanks a lot
