I have successfully installed Apache and PHP, but i was facing a problem with installing MySQL.

I have downloaded mysql-5.6.10-win32.zip from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=412070

I did unzipped it into C:\mysql folder but i can't found any C:\mysql\*.ini files as have mentioned in http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394.

- Sorry for my bad English Confused

MySQL 5.6 is far new and has other .ini files.
And is not yet proven.

Better to use 5.5 (now 5.5.30): http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.5.html#downloads

If you stil want 5.6 use the installer:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/installer/5.6.html

Btw, saw in the setup guide you use is outdated for 5.5:
mysqld-nt.exe is mentioned there, must be mysqld.exe

I have to ask, did you run the installer program?

When you run the installer it will create the mysql.ini file. Also, by default, it will install MySQL program into c:\program files\mysql or c:\program files (x86)\mysql

Hope my previous comment did not get misinterpreted. It was intended for the original poster.

I have been using MySQL 5.6 since it's development and have not encountered any issues. I am however only using it as a backend for WordPress.

Thanks to steffen and DnvrSysEngr, mysql is working now Laughing

Btw, i have also installed phpmyadmin (it requires username and password to login). Anyway can any of you explain here how to set password for root user either in cmd, ini file or phpmyadmin and what else i should edit in my.ini of MySQL?

Sorry, i just can't understand the documentation in mysql.com

I have my phpmyadmin set up in the folder that contains my websites so that i can type in http://localhost/phpmyadmin

As for logging into phpmyadin, the username and password will be what you entered into mysql's initial configuration when you were prompted for a username and password to use for mysql.

Hope that helps.

Open the command line.
cd to mysql bin folder

type "mysql" as user choose root (if not choosen by default) as password just press enter since it is empty by default

than

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace the password with the password that you want to use.

done

c:\mysql\bin>mysql -root -p

Should be
Code:
c:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root -p

Otherwise you just enable -r, -o and -t options
