Hello. I'm trying to follow the "HOWTO: Create an apache sandbox using Windows and Apache2Triad" tutorial at http://drupal.org/node/81988. It's not exactly smooth sailing. After finally getting apache to install, I'm trying to install Drupal. I'm told I need to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/. A username and password box pops up and I type in username: root and then my password as instructed. The problem is that the box asking for my username and password just pops up again and again and again instead of logging me in.
Actually, the reason I went to that tutorial is because I'm trying to follow along with Mercer's book, and that isn't working, either. It told me to go to cmd and type E:\ mysqladmin -u root -p create drupal. When I do that, it says:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)'
Check that mysqld is running on localhost and that the port is 3306.
You can check this by doing 'telnet localhost 3306'
No idea what that means (the book promised me it was for newbies!), but I found MySqlManager and found that if I click on a folder called "MySql," it tells me that the port for the server 'localhost' is indeed 3306.
Would anyone be kind enough to help me figure out what is going on?

mysqladmin: connect to
This usually means that mysql is _not_ running.
You should either have a mysql service that needs to be started, or there should be some other way of starting mysql provided by whichever triad package you're using.
(You should be able to get to services by running services.msc from a Run box IIRC)
Aha! I can get in now.
Aha! I can get in now. Thank you so much for being patient with a newbie. :-)
Phpmyadmin can't login
I am still on the installation of phpmyadmin in my LOCAL Win vista computer. All the MySQL PHP and Apache has been installed manually according to a online tutoria. even though the Apache has been installed twice. looks fine.
Drupal 's file has been copied into server site. and waiting for the database setting up.
I can access mysql via command line as user root:
mysql -u root -p
1234567
mysql>
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '1234567'; // in the config.inc of phpmyadmin
However when I try to log into the phpmyadmin i got message in Firefox:
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Win Vista pop up box.
"Apache HTTP Server stopped working and was closed
A problem caused the application to stop working correctly.

Apache error logs like:

Please anyone can guide me in this step.
