Installing MySQL on Windows;
1. Download the Mysql Win32 Binary.
2. Install as per setup file. Leave the default dir as mysql it's easier
3. Run c:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow - this should show a Database listing.
4. Set up password for root.
- cd c:\mysql\bin
- Type mysql
- Type DELETE FROM user WHERE username ='';
this will delete the default user
- Type UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('my_new_password') WHERE
user='root';
To change the root password
- Type exit;
to quit mysql
- Type mysqladmin reload
this will update the privileges you've just changed
- To make sure these have taken type mysql, you should get an access
denied error
- Now type mysql -uroot -p. You will be prompted for the password you
gave
above.
- Enter this and you should be let in.
- You should really set up another user other than root for PHP to
access
the db but if it's only for
testing you should be ok.
- I also recommend phpmyadmin for web administration.
This is very quick so it let me know if you have any other probs I will try
to help
All this info is in the mysql docs that come with the distro but can be a
little hard to find
