I've spent the last 2 days trying to begin using mysql. I've purchased 3
books and read huge chunks of the documentation provided with the mysql zip
file.
I've downloaded 'mysql-4.0.18-win.zip', unzipped it, run the WinMySqlAdmin
program, and everything seems fine. I'm trying to use it on WindowsXP on a
new machine.
I'm trying to learn mysql from scratch using the command line before I play
with what I'm assuming are GUI for mysql. I've installed it in the default
directory "C:\mysql".
2 of the books and the documentation step me through the same process
open a command window
change the directory to c:\mysql\bin
start the service so I type "mysqld-nt" at the command prompt. (I've
chosen to use the mysqld-nt service since I'm in XP.)
As far as I can tell nothing happens. If I try to shut it down, I using
"mysqladmin shutdown", I get the error message "cannot connect to MYSQL
server on local host. Check that mysqld is running on local host...." the
error message goes on.
I'm getting extremely frustrated and cannot even begin to understand what I
am doing wrong. Am I doing something incredibly stupid?
Help.

If you have installed the 4.0 kit using setup.exe, then mysql should have
been installed as a service. Assuming that, that is how you should
ascertain if it is running and/or start it.
Start->Control Panel->Administrati ve Tools->Component
Services->Services(local ) and look for the mysql service and make sure it is
started.

Q. Why am I getting the error message 'Headers already sent'?
A. PHP produces this error message when you try to set a header for a web
page after you have already started sending out the content of the page.
Web content is always delivered with a few headers at the top, ending with a
blank line. For example, a web page might start like this:

Hi,
I'm going to be starting a project with a friend of mine in C#, we're
doing it to learn the language a little better, to get more experience
with it. We've already come up with an idea of the application to
build, but need advise on how to get started, to share the work? Also
if there are free servers available with sourcesafe, so we can use
that, and just any basic advise on getting started, how to split work.
Thank you.
