don't know what user/password should be

[dragon52]

Hi,

I installed "mysql-connector-net-5.2.3" and "mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r12-win32". The install seems ok.
When I start the "Administra tor" or "Query Browser", the login asks for connection/user/password values. I don't know what these should be because the installation procedure didn't ask me for an user/password to begin with.

I have tried using "localhost/root/'blank'" to login but didn't work.

Can anyone tell me where I have done wrong??

thanks

These would be the username and password you would use to connect to the MySQL server.

These two things you mentioned are just extra tools, they don't actually include a MySQL server. You will have to set that up separately, or connect to an existing server.

You can download the server installer athttp://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/. If you are on Linux, you can most likely also get it via whichever download manager your distro uses.

I have worked it out.

I have now installed "mysql-essential-5.1.49-winx64". At the end of the install it lets you configure an instance of the server and that is when you specify the initial user/password.

It is working now, thanks
