does anyone know?...

bump

Has anyone tried this on a mac?

get the zip file from php.net and extract the files in the curent php directory that is set by phptriad

Click start -> run -> type "CMD" -> hit enter
in dos
go to mysql\bin directory ( assuming mysql is installed on drive C: )
cd c:\mysql\bin

run the following command

mysql -D mydatabase -u username -p < c:\path\to\file\mysqlfile.sql



mydatabase is your database name that you want to load the sql file into
username if the username for the database ( mostly is root).
mysqlfile.sql is your SQL file that you want to load

if you have set a password then it will ask you for the password after you hit the Enter key
if you didn't set a pssword use this command insted


mysql -D mydatabase < c:\path\to\file\mysqlfile.sql


using this i loaded a 290 MB database in 1 min

Nice tut, I'd reccomend using EasyPHP though, it works great for me.

I've always used XAMMP to install everything.

Then I added an entry in my windows 'hosts' file that made my domain name point back to localhost so all my links/graphics/etc would resolve back to my pc.

So no matter if I was connected to the internat or not, when I typed www.mydoamin.com into my browser it would loop back into the webserver that was on my PC.

*this is a great way to mess with someone too because you can point any domain to any other domain...like hotmail.com to ratemymullet.com*

Getting this error when trying to access phpmyadmin

Same problem here, yes ive tried restarting apache.
is the icon in the bottom right supposed to be red?
I can right click it, go to winNT and click start service, but it fails for some reason :-/

PHPTriad sux.use XAMMP. Works great
