Running MySQL

You must manually start MySQL the first time.

c:\mysql\bin\winmysqladmin.exe

You will be prompted to create an admin username and Password. This is the login information for the admin tool,not any specific database or table.

Once the admin account is created, the server will be running(either as a program in Win 9x or as a service in NT) and will run each time you start Windows. The “traffic light” systemtray icon shows you its working.
