I need to start MySQL in force recovery mode. I’ve seen the documentation on innodb_force_recovery here: but it suggests adding a line to my “option file”.
I don’t know what the option file is, nor where it is in Windows. I’m basically trying to follow this article here but without using XAMPP and am stuck on the part about starting MySQL in recovery mode.
Can anyone tell me how to start MySQL with ‘innodb_force_recovery = 6’ on Windows 7?
Many thanks for any pointers folks.

which I had to edit with admin privileges in Notepad.
