MySql installation.

Thread view: 
Mr. X. - 16 Mar 2008 21:02 GMT
Hello.

I want to know how to use MySql
from site : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/,
navigated to the link : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#win32,
and download for windows the version : 5.0.51a.

After extracting the zip file to c:\program files,
I want first steps of using just a small database with small table
(I can use squirrel-sql as a navigator).

What should I do next ?
What configuration should I configure ?
How can I use the same database from many computers ?

Need some free step tutorial, please.

Thanks :)

I have looked at :
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql_intro.html
but too much to be undersoodable at first glance ...

I just want the real first steps after installation
(As I said : doing some configruations, testing a simple db ...)

Thanks :)

The real docs are here:
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/index.html

They have almost everything you will ever want.

Well ...

Section 2, has expfor installing MySql Enterpise,
and I have just installed the standard one (the freeware version, is
Enterpise edition also a freeware one ?) :
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#win32
(look for Without installer (unzip in C:\)).
I have installed it on : C:\Program Files\mysql-5.0.51a-win32\bin).
When I run on command line : mysql, I got the message :
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061).

I think that mySql should connect to some default database.
Just to start with, I need tinny database, or any other specific link ...

Thanks :)

[SNIP]

The "Windows Essentials" version of the MySQL server has a GUI
installation and configuration utility (the Configuration Wizard) which
greatly simplifies the whole process of setting up a new server.

You need to download the "Windows Essentials" version of the software,
and not the "Without installer" version.  Do yourself a favour, don't
make life more difficult for yourself.
