What can I do next after installing xampp

[atzsea]

I have no idea how to use WinMySQLadmin.
How can I start with MySQL itself?
After setting path in environmental variables, I attemped to log in on Command Prompt, but in vain;

>mysql -u root -p
Enter passwor ******
Error 1045 ;Access denied for user ...

Any idea?

Heve you opened PhpMyAdmin, you can access MySql from there

Until you have first run MySQL and set the password, initial password for root is blank. To get started with a fresh install use the MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard, which is installed with a standard Windows install of MySQL. This lets you set up initial conditions and passwords. Then use MySQLadmin with the root password you just set up.

Thank you, Domino2

I have wampserver installed, its very similar to what you have, again its a free package with MySql,Apache etc. When you start it up, it puts a small icon in the system tray. If you click on it, you will see PhpMyAdmin, start and stop services etc.

Thank you.

I have attempted in some ways.
I could make databases and tables in the Command Prompt or another tool, but they have not been reflected to WinMySQLadmin in xampp. Something is wrong, though its service is evidently on.

Sorry I cannot help anymore on Xampp. I played with Wampserver and it seemed to get me going.

When you start XAMPP, go to your browser and type in the address "

http://localhost/phpmyadmin"

I think this will work.

Hi, anuj576! I did. It worked. feel good. I feel like getting a new world.
You might be the first person to tell about xampp. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to proceeding Mysql further.
