Installing mySQL on NT..

[ilya]

Hi!
I'm running Nt 5.0 (Windows 2000). I downloaded mySQL for windows, installed it, but when I try to connect to localhost, i get an error: can't connect to server locahost.
Can someone tell me what the problem is?

You have to start the MySQL daemon first:

C:\> mysqld

You might have to change into the mysql directory (if it's not in your path)...

Hope this helps.

Ok. I think i got it started. But how do I change my username/password. And is there a way that I can make it so that if username is "test1" he can only view his own database, "test2" can view his own and[nbsp][nbsp]so on..?

If you have PHP installed, check out phpmyadmin at http://www.phpwizard.net/phpMyAdmin/ - it will allow things like adding new users and restricting permissions.[nbsp][nbsp]:)

Ok. I already have phpMyAdmin, but didn't knw it could do those things :). Guess i'll need to install PHP now.. Does phpMyAdmin allow you to change passwords as well?

Well, i installed PHP and phpMyAdmin, but when i run index.php3, i get an error:
Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in lib.inc.php3 on line 92

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

[Charles Capps]

You need to enable the mysql module in php3.ini.

When I try to create table or do anything with mySQL DB, this is an erro I get:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

winsock.dll unusable. 1009

What is wrong now? :)

At this junction, I would highly recommend retracing your steps and making sure you *read* all of the respective documentation completely...

It appears that you are fumbling your way through this trying to make it operational without drilling down into the instructions provided...[nbsp][nbsp]Sort of like walking to the store and asking anyone which way to turn at every crossroad *instead* of looking at the map (documentation) provided by the software...

I would also recommend visiting:
www.deja.com (http://www.deja.com)

and search the newsgroups for any info...[nbsp][nbsp]You can also seek out 'mailing list' archives, such as the one at:
http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists

As with any support/technical issue, there has to be a point of cutoff realizing that we have pointed out the direction to take, but cannot always walk side-by-side admiring all the landmarks along the way...

I wish you best of luck on your search for the truth...
