| Install MySQL | |||
| by CyanBlue | |||
Here are some screenshots of my MySQL installation process. |
|||
| 1. | Download the MySQL installer(mysql-4.0.21-win.zip) from the http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html page. | ||
| 2. | Unzip the downloaded file(mysql-4.0.21-win.zip) into the temporary directory and run SETUP.EXE file. | ||
| 3. | Follow the steps to install the MySQL 4.0.21. | ||
| 3.01 | Welcome | ||
 |
|||
| 3.02 | Information | ||
 |
|||
| 3.03 | Choose Destination Location | ||
| Select appropriate directory where you want do install the MySQL. I created C:\L\MySQL for this. | |||
 |
|||
| 3.04 | Setup Type | ||
| I think Typical is fine for this case because there is nothing you can customize when you select the Custom menu. | |||
 |
|||
| 3.05 | Select Components - Custom Only | ||
 |
|||
| 3.06 | Setup Complete | ||
 |
|||
| 4. | Go to this directory, C:\L\MySQL\bin, and execute this file, winmysqladmin.exe. |
||
 |
|||
| Once the information is provided, this winmysqladmin.exe will setup the startup program so that MySQL server will run automatically whenever you start your machine. | |||
| 5. | Check out the WinMySQLAdmin's icon(traffic light with the green light on) in the system tray menu. | ||
 |
|||
| 6. | You can right click on this icon to select the appripriate actions such as stopping the MySQL server or displaying the current information on your MySQL server. | ||
 |
|||
| Hope it was useful to you. :) |
