My I try to run the command mysqladmin -u root create mydb to create a database it gives me the error: "connect to server at ''local host'' failed error: Can''t connect to MySQL server ''on localhost'' Check that mysql is running on localhost and at the port (whatever) ... " What''s wrong?

There is a tutorial that comes with mySQL. It is very straightforward and explains how to start the server and how to manage it.

Also, to interface to MySQL with PHP via the Apache server, you have to edit a config file (I''m not sure what the filename is) for the Apache server. I wish I could tell you more what to do, but I don''t know the settings off the top of my head.

Suffice to say, if things aren''t running right, you are only a few steps from getting things running right. It''s just a matter of finding out exactly what to do.
