Getting MySQL to work...

**Rockonmetal** · 09-30-2007, 09:12 PM

Twey I tried that link... I have reinstalled wamp5 so I can edit something with my site...
If someone could tell me how to get MySQL off of WAMP5 to work that would be awesome... thanks!

The link doesn't mention 'WAMP...'

yeah... but I've installed wamp5 about 200 times, downloaded it 30 times, and it still isn't working right out of the box... I think I have to do a little bit of tinkering but, when I tinker with stuff, it suddenly breaks and I end up with creating a black hole in my computer... *happened once... when I messed with command prompt...*

So... just install it yourself?

How??? I looked at the link you gave me... I have read through, done it and it hasn't worked...

"Hasn't worked" is not a sufficient description of a problem.

Step 1 - 3: Download Apache, PHP, and MySQL by going to the following links:

http://httpd.apache.org
http://www.php.net
http://www.mysql.org

Step 4...: install each item.

There's nothing more to it than that.

I would like to use a specific software instead of installing by hand...
I have tried the following:
Wamp5 - Localhost no phpmyadmin
Netserver - worked with Localhost and phpmyadmin
XAMP - Didn't work
BizzarServer2 - didn't work

If anyone has any recommendations let me know... if you say install by hand please give me instructions on how to...
You can talk to me on my MSN if you find that its complicated to talk over forums...

Thanks to anyone who helps
