I'll try to read it through and ask on the way down the page when I come into difficulties.
I just started on the Install part and found something that confused me:
If you are working on an NT/2000/XP server, logon as a user with administrator privileges.
If you are doing an upgrade of an earlier MySQL installation, it is necessary to stop the server. If you are running the server as a service, use:
C:\> NET STOP MySQL
Otherwise, use:
C:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root shutdown
On NT/2000/XP machines, if you want to change the server executable (e.g., -max or -nt), it is also necessary to remove the service:
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld --remove
Unzip the distribution file to a temporary directory.
Run the `setup.exe' file to begin the installation process. If you want to install into another directory than the default `c:\mysql', use the Browse button to specify your preferred directory.
Finish the install process.
Im using Windows XP so I should use this:
But where should I write this? It only says "use this"!
- perlman
