EasyPHP-Devserver 17: impossible to change MYSQL Data directory?

I use easyPHP-DevServer 17 with mysql5.717, php 7.13 und phpmyadmin4.70 (it was like this in a bundle) under windows 10. Since two days I try to configure EasyPHPDevserver as I would like to have it. I want to store data on the data partition of my computer not on the system partition C: I stopped all servers and the application EasyPHP-DevServer. I changed the data directory in the file mysql.ini, in the my-default.ini and the my.ini-bak file. If I run the application there is once again the old path in the ini-file and I get only the data base of the old data base source not of the new data base. I searched in the registry whithout finding any registry entry giving the data directory. How does it know the old directory? Why doesn't it change?

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Solution

You need to modify the file eds-app-action.php in your MySQL folder.

Find the line // Update datadir
On the next line, replace __DIR__ by your path (you can change /data/ as well)

OR, easier

Comment the two next lines (//$replacement... and //$serverconffile) and edit the my.ini file as you did. Like this, your changes won't be erased.
