MySQL

[Anon]

I just installed the BadBlue webserver and PHP which all works fine now. I downloaded MySQL and installed it. I started up a command prompt, typed cd C:\wwwserver\mysql\bin because thats where mysql is installed. A book I've got says to type mysqld--standalone so I did and I was told 'mysqld--standalone' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. I then tried typing just mysql and was then told
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061). What's happening and how can I fix it so that I can use PHP, MySQL and BadBlue together?

did you create a my.cnf file with:

[mysqld]
basedir=C:/wwwserver/mysql

read the mysql manual for more.
