MySQL Startup Error - Root element missing

问题

I have had MySQL installed for about 2 months on Windows Server 2003 R2. On start up we get presented with an error that says "High Severity Error - root element missing" followed by another high severity error that displays "Log file path must be defined before calling the WriteToLog method".

Any help with this would be appreciated!

回答1:

Try to delete the file %Appdata%\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.config

回答2:

I tried deleting settings.config file and other files yet it did not fix the issue.

For me once I uninstalled MySql notifier from control panel and reinstalled it from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/notifier/ it worked fine.
