Windows Installation

Installing MySQL

As I mentioned above, MySQL may be downloaded free of charge. Simply proceed

to http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and choose the recommended stable release

(as of this writing, it is MySQL 3.23). On the MySQL 3.23 download page, under

the heading of Windows downloads, click the Download link next to the latest version

of MySQL (3.23.54 as of this writing). After downloading the file (it's about

13MB as of this writing), unzip it and run the setup.exe program contained

therein.

Once installed, MySQL is ready to roll (barring a couple of configuration tasks

that we'll look at shortly), except for one minor issue that only affects you if

you're running Windows NT, 2000, XP, or .NET Server. If you use any of those

operating systems, find a file called my-small.cnf in the directory to which you

just installed MySQL. Copy it to the root of your C: drive and rename it to

my.cnf. See the following sidebar if you have any trouble working with .cnf files

on your Windows system.

1From this point forward, I'll refer to all Unix-style platforms supported by PHP and MySQL, such

as Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X, with the collective name 'Unix'.
