Installing MySQL

1. Install the MySQL by executing the installation file, in case of installer. Or unzipping the zip package to a directory, in case of zip package. It is advised to install the MySQL in the root directory like c:\mysql or d:\mysql

   In case you are installing MySQL in directory other than c:\mysql, create a file my.ini in the WINDOWS directory and add the followin line to it

   basedir=d:/mysql

   Enter the absolute path of the directory where you installed the MySQL. (take care while entering the slashes)

2. To start the mysql server, execute the c:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe file on Windows 95/98 or c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe on Windows NT/2000/XP. Now run c:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe (the mysql client). If you are successfull in connecting to the server, mysql has been successfully installed.

3. I would also recommend you to create shortcut to the following for easily starting and stopping MySQL:
   MySQL Start: c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe --standalone
   MySQL Stop: c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe -u root -p [root_password] shutdown
   where [root_password] is your root password. If it is empty, then use this instead
   c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe -u root shutdown
