Your best bet is to get yourself some reference material if you haven't already. I suggest 'MySQL' by Paul DuBois. But for starters, what OS are you planning to install on? From your message, I gather you're installing on some flavour of Windows? Is your purpose to provide a development platform just for yourself, or to open it up to the world? When you see a reference to 'shell> mysql', that's referring to the client - remember there are 2 things going on. First you have to start the server (mysqld for example), then you need to start a client (mysql) to access the server. -- Amer Neely, Softouch Information Services Perl / PHP / MySQL / CGI Programming e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.softouch.on.ca/ v: 519.438.5887 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
