MYSQL

[Xavier]

I am having trouble setting up MYSQL. It just keeps showing red when i did everything that the tutorial at http://os17fan.cjb.net/. I am a newbie at databases and i really dont know what could be wrong. I made sccreenshots of all teh sections and they can be found at http://68.144.34.11/MYSQL/

It may be something to do with your my.ini file. Heres what mine looks like:
[WinMySQLAdmin]
Server=C:\mysql2\mysql-4.0.17\bin\mysqld.exe
user=username
password=password
[mysqld]
basedir=C:/mysql2/mysql-4.0.17
datadir=C:/mysql2/mysql-4.0.17/data
(Those seeting are what mine are though, don't use them)
Seeing as you are using mysqld-nt, it should look like this for you:
[WinMySQLAdmin]
Server=C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe
user=root
password=
[mysqld-nt]
basedir=C:/mysql
datadir=C:/mysql/data
Your my.ini file should be in your C:/Windows folder.
See if that works. I had a simlar problem when I upgraded my version. When I changed this it worked fine.

Hmm...
[WinMySQLAdmin]
Server=C:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe
user=root
password=
[mysqld]
basedir=C:/mysql
datadir=C:/mysql/data
Try using those settings in your my.ini file. Make sure you run mysqld.exe after (inside your mysql/bin folder).
