|
how exactly do i do these command prompt commands?
Testing is best done from a command prompt in a console window (a ``DOS window''). This way you can have the server display status messages in the window where they are easy to see. If something is wrong with your configuration, these messages will make it easier for you to identify and fix any problems.
Make sure you are in the directory where the server is located, then enter this command:
shell> mysqld --console
how do i enter shell> mysqld --console in the command prompt? When I start it shows something like C:\My Documents and Settings\Evaporater\
I am using Windows btw
I am soooo confused :cry: |

In your case, you should open the "Dos window" or the "command prompt".
Type:
and press Enter if you installed MySQL in c:\mysql
Next, type
and press enter.
The command prompt uses the DOS commands. DOS used to be the major operating system of PCs for almost 15 years. Its command are simple, a small tutorial can be found at http://www.butterwick0.freeserve.co.uk/tutor/menu.html (there are thousands of similar tutorials on the internet and probably dozens of books in your local library about MS-DOS).
