Guest Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 hi I am installing MYSQL and tryoing to verify CGI connection, I would like to open pearl package manager and install DBI (I have so far installed Apache,CGI,PHP and MYSQL, trying to eventually install os commerce locally) but as I go to start menu and get to Perl Package Manager the command prompt window flashes on the screen and disappears. I am running WIN XP. Anybody have any idea why or how to proceed with installing dbi in using another method. Thanks for any help SAMI
Guest Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 did you get apache working first, by itself? or mysql? dont try to do all of them at the same time. follow this for some of it http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/index.htm
Guest Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 hi thanks for comment I did folow the link you gave me everyting works up to the point where I am trying to configure MYSQL (http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/configure_mysql.htm) as I do not know where to save unroot.txt and just get file not found n the comand prompt. It looks like a very useful resource tough thanks.
Guest Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 i would uninstall mysql (delete everything) and then reinstall it. as you are on windows the installation is pretty much automatic and just choose all the defaults is the easiest, unless there is some reason you want to stray from the default. if you do, much more work to do for configuration.
Guest Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 before I go ahead with uninstalling (just delete the MySQL folder right, or anything else?) I would like to try testing it but dont know where I should save the the unroot.txt file found in the tutorial at the part where you are configuring MySql.I have a feeling it might work I just dont know where to save the file and how to get along with the tutorial.
