I can't get through the second line where it says:Do a typical install, and click finish. Open up a command prompt and navigate to the mysql/bin directory. Then, run mysqld --console. (Sorry, I forgot to take a screenshot. use "cd" to navigate directorys in dos)
We need a root password
Start another prompt, and type this:
code:
cd C:\Server\mysql\bin\
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> DELETE FROM user WHERE Host='localhost' AND User='';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> QUIT
C:\> C:\Server\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password rootpass
mysql> use mysql;
I get this:
ERROR 1049: Unknown database 'mysql;'
Please help. First time installing, and I don't know what to do.[/quote]
