How does one move the MySQL install to another disk on the same machine? I thought it was just updating the my.ini file, but I don’t see anything in there that points to its ‘current’ location.

Hi,

If you have installed Redmine on Linux or OS X them most easy way is to move the mysql data folder to the mounted disk and create a symlink.

Cheers.

Unfortunately, this is on a Windows box. Can I just update the my.ini file to point to the new location, put the files there, and then start up mysql again?

Yes, you can do that.
