Edit

I have decided to Copy and paste the Intructions Just in case something should happen to the orginal page as so often does with websites. Besides this cuts out all the stuff you don't need in the orginal tutorial.

MANY MANY THANKS TO TAASC @ http://www.analysisandsolutions.com FOR YOUR HELP!!!!


Here is the Tutorial

PLEASE Note That these Steps should be taken only after following the MySql installation Tutorial found In this forum.


Quote:


After Editing your My.ini file

1) Make a Command Prompt shortcut to make it easy to manually work with MySQL. By Following these Steps.

Open Windows Explorer.
In the Address Bar, type in %UserProflie% and hit the ENTER key.
Navigate to the Start Menu\Programs\Accessories directory.
Select the Command Prompt file.
Hit CTRL-C then CTRL-V

Or you can create the shortcut By Browsing To C:\Windows\System32\ and right clicking on the CMD.exe and send it to your desktop.


2) Open it's properties via File | Properties and go to the "Shortcut" tab, then the "Start In" box and type in the path where your MySQL binaries are. For example: C:\MySQL\bin Edit the items in the remaining tabs to suit your preferences. Hit OK when you're done.


3) Open the Shortcut Next, we need to "install" the appropriate MySQL service. You have several options. The options and the command to implement it are as follows:

4) Open the MySQL Shortcut. Next, we need to "install" the appropriate
SQL service. You have several options. The options and the command to
implement it are as follows:

NT/2000/XP. Transactions. Named pipes.
Type: mysqld-max-nt --install

To Install NT/2000/XP. Transactions.
Type: mysqld-max --install

To Install NT/2000/XP. Named pipes.
Type: mysqld-nt --install

To Install Transactions.
Type: mysqld --install

To Install Optimised binary with no support for transactional tables.
Type: mysqld-opt --install

5) Next We make sure the MySql Is installed to startup with windows by:

Opening up the Services Manager For your computer

In Windows 2000 Command Prompt Type: services.msc

In Windows NT 4.0 Go to: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Services

In Windows XP Home Or Pro Go To: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Component Services

(Note in windows XP pro and Home you will need to click on Services(Local) Once you have opened the Component Services to see the following list)

Highlight the line with "MySql" on it then hit ENTER or double click on it. Set the "Startup type" list to "Automatic" and click Apply.
Click on the Start button. If you get an error message about "Error 1067," it most likely means that some directive in your configuration file (ie my.cnf) is incorrect.

Close the Services Manager.


6) In the Mysql command prompt (ie...the shortcut you created earlier)
You will need to log in.

If you are using a new installation, the root account doesn't have a
password it yet, so type in the text that looks like this:

C:\mysql\bin> mysql -u root mysql

If you have already set a password for root, use these commands:

C:\mysql\bin> mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password: TYPE IN THE PASSWORD

You will then see the following output:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 3.23.55-max-nt

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

7) Tighten Security
MySQL has good security controls, but the default installation is wide
open. So, if you're doing a new installation, let's close things up before
we go any further. Of course, change NewRootName and NewPassword,
below, to something unique. After typing each line below be sure to hit
enter before typing the next line.

mysql> delete from user where Host='%';
mysql> delete from user where User='';
mysql> delete from db where Host='%';
mysql> update user set User='NewRootName', Password=Password('NewPassword') where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;

8) Check that your user Name and password are correct.

You will have to log out befor you can use the new user name and pass to do this type:

mysql>exit;

you can now login with the new user name and password by typing once you hit enter you will
be asked for your password MAKE SURE to type it exactly as you did when creating it as MySql
is case sensitive.

C:\mysql\bin> mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password: TYPE IN THE PASSWORD




Thats it folks you can now install phpmyadmin. :)

There is no integration with Abyss - MySQL is an entirely separate entity. It's any scripts you set up which will be connecting to it. Scripts are processed by their interpreter, not Abyss web server.

Okay, this looks great, but I'm not sure which install of MySQL I need.

EDIT: Ok, I've got MySQL and phpMyAdmin up and running now (in addition to MySQL Administrator), thanks to this tutorial, but now I'm getting a new error when I access phpMyAdmin. I can login, but I get this once I'm inside phpMyAdmin:

The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using multibyte charset. Without mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.

MySQL Administrator works fine with MySQL 5, by the way. :)

Ok well firstly check php.ini and other config files such as mysql configs. Also in the phpMyAdmin config theres the authentication stuff, make sure you set it as "http" and not the default (config) i hope this helps, As with most SSI/databases its just about playing with the settings untill you get what you need. Just look for familiar terms that apply to the errors you get. but if you dont know what something is either
a) Leave it
b) google it
I have recently started using Abyss instead of apache for the simple reason its a home server it seems to be just as good and configurable. also i have remote control over it :D
EDIT: poo, shoulda checked the date of posts.. Well i hope you have got it sorted by now, if not hope this works

Please enable the php_mbstring.dll in your php.ini , for some reason the newer
versions of phpMyAdmin want the mbstring function enabled , I don't know why.

How is this done? I'm lost finding it in my php.ini.

***EDIT***

Ok. Found what I was looking for but it seems like it was already enabled (extension is listed in the extensions list). Could there be something else wrong?

***EDIT II***

Ok. Fixed it. Sorry for the waste of space.

basically mysql can hold information in it about scripts. such as username and passwords, or forum names thing's like that.

Adam123,

The password you have entered is either wrong or the user is not allowed access. Try logging using your database administrator login/password. Later you can check, add, and remove limited user permissions in MySQL.

If you have forgot the administrator password in MySQL, run Start > Programs > MySQL > MySQL version X.Y > MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard to choose a new password .
