Hello, I am a noob, I cannot seem to get mysql to start. I did the typical settings, standard configuration, and the password. When I press execute it comes up with an error message, " Cannot create windows service for MySQL. Error: 0" Okay so how do I get it to work? I am using windows xp proffessional with all of the updates from the windows update. EDIT: Well nvm that, I got flustered and did it the detailed way w/ no password... I will not make my server public anyhow so it don't matter. I just want this shizzie to work.. Now I come across another problem. When I try to download a DB, I click on it and it and instead of downloading a file, it downloads a bunch of garbage. I dunno what the heck went wrong, but ya.. Please help. (noob)
