Hi all I am bran new to mysql and PHP
and have been having problems setting everything up -
currently I can not do the following
To set a root password for MySQL, type the following command in the bin directory
of your MySQL installation (include the quotes):
mysqladmin -u root password "your new password"
To make sure MySQL has registered this change, you should tell it to reload its
list of authorized users and passwords:
mysqladmin -u root reload
If this command returns an error message to tell you that access was denied, don't
worry: this just means the password has already taken effect.
To try out your new password, request that the MySQL server tell you its current
status:
mysqladmin -u root -p status
I am using the cmd
mysql in the \bin directory and when I hit return nothing happens.
sorry for the stupid question but what do I need to do?
