it should have asked you to provide account details when you installed it
if it didnt, you want to run the mysql admin tool that came with it, and use that to create an account (the version i have has something called 'winmysqladmin' in the bin folder)
the end result will be that your my.ini file will be edited to contain something along the lines of:
Code: Select all
їclient]
# The following password will be sent to all standard MySQL clients
user=me
password=mypass

that much took me 2 hours with the mysql website :/
other than that, this place is the best... if you try the search option at the top it quite often throws up some tasty info

Well the mysql web site is the best for "how to run the server" stuff.
I then learn SQL commands from
http://www.w3schools.com and
http://www.sqlcourse.com/
Any other help that you may need im sure this forum can provide.
