I know that this has nothing to do with Continuum, but but how do I set up a MySQL database? (Honestly, I have never done it before so bear with me) |

What would you need a "web server" for? Just run it on your own computer.
Go to MySQL's official website, download the installer for Windows and install it.
Get a graphical administration client (you can use SQL to change settings but that's harder than using a graphical client which does it for you) like MySQL CC.
Notice: your MySQL server's account with the highest access level: "root", is not protected with a password yet.
Log in using MySQL CC, use "root" as username and no password.
Change the root password, then create other accounts for your other work. |

Well, I installed that MySQLCC and I am trying to add it with the server (which the server is at my house) and it won't work.
Here is my Info:
Name: Digital Vortech
Host Name: website-host.ath.cx
Username: root
Password: ******
Port: 3306
and it still fails. |

Actually, if anyone could, netmeeting (comes with all versions of Windows) this address: website-host.ath.cx
It would be so much easier for both sides if someone just did it remotely  |

OK she doesn't know what she's talking about so ignore her.
When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean? That really doesn't help at all. Describe what you're doing and where you think it's going wrong. _________________

Why are you giving that account info? A MySQL server isn't used as some public webserver, mostly, so it's not like anyone of us is going to check your MySQL server out.
What error are you getting?
For some errors the MySQL manual has some tips on solving your problems.
Did you specify a password which shouldn't be used?
I see in the account information you posted that you are using a password, as I said in a previous post:
Solo Ace wrote: | Notice: your MySQL server's account with the highest access level: "root", is not protected with a password yet. |
So first you have to login without any password for the root user, because a password is not set yet.
Change the password in the user administration of the root account (you can only do this after logging in, of course), then change it in your account login information too.
If that wasn't the problem, maybe there's a networking problem?
Did you try connecting to "localhost" instead of to that other address?
Are you sure the server is up?
Check it in the service list of your computer or your task manager (ctrl + alt + del).
See which IPs it's using by running netstat in a command prompt.
Go to Start -> Run, type "cmd" on Windows XP or "command" on 9X, type netstat -an | find ":3306" in the command prompt and hit the Enter key.
This will run netstat and output all active IP's with port 3306.
It should be listening on your local loopback and it should run on your local LAN IP (or on "0.0.0.0" which stands for all available).
When trying to connect from outside your local LAN make sure port 3306 (TCP) is routed to the system which is running the MySQL server. |

Okay, I got rid of MySQLCC cause I found the segment in my package with MySQL in and I don't know how to connect things up to it.
There is a guide at http://www.canowhoopass.com/guides/easyphp/setupmysql.php but it doesn't really help me. I have no idea where to put the stuff and what not.
Another issue, I cann't access my MySQL directory through IE. It says the page is forbidden for me to enter. |

Well MySQL has it's own user database and it has a CUI Client. Default is the root of the MySQL does not have a pw but is binded to 127.0.0.1. Also what it could be is your configurations. Also MySQL is not related to anyother web server it can run standalone. |

I'd like to point out that there are two root accounts, local and external, you need to change the passwords on both (or delete the external one, it depends on what you want to use mysql for). |

That's not even the point here, he doesn't know what it is.
Guess he just wants to look cool by asking about it, like he did here.
And I guess Night_Fox wanted to look coolar than me by correcting me, and saying MySQL needs a webserver to run on!
"Oh watch me trying to act intelligent and say things I don't know shit about". |
