im using notepad

[Castillo]

Just asking, is that a kind of joke? notepad is used to edit files, is not a MySQL server.

Please get "XAMPP" and install it.

[k0ed298]

Okay once ive downloaded it what do i do then ?

[Castillo]

That program has "Apache" and "MySQL", you start it and then you can go to "localhost" on your web browser.

Ok ive started mySQL , so what do i do ? go to local host? how do i do that?

I started mysql threw xxamp , So what do i do now ? start local host? how do i do that ?

[Castillo]

Ok, now, I guess you've got "Apache" and "MySQL" running, if so, then go to your Web Browser and as address write: localhost

Then you'll find the option "phpMyAdmin", click there.

Additional suggestions:

Go to localhost.­net

Go to www.­localhost.­com.­au

Search on Google:

That means that either "XAMPP" is not running or "Apache" is not turned on.

"Apache" is not ON, click on "Start".

[k0ed298]

"Apache" is not ON, click on "Start".

I did. Look at the picture. Its just says "Apache service started". And then doesn't do anything.

And then after a little bit it says "Busy."

[Castillo]

Restart "XAMPP" and start both again.

[k0ed298]

It just says : ERROR: Apache server not started [-1]

[ishinam]

Go to your installed xampp directory and find apache_start.bat, run it.

Then find mysql_start.bat and run it.

After that http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and create a database.
