MySQL - How to Set it up

I looked on the wiki and on the forums and didn't see muhc information on how to exactly setup mySQL. I've tried countless times and keep failing. The only thing I know to do is:

pacman - S mysql mysql-query-browser

Then start mysql with the mysql daemon. So yeah... that works. But I can't ever connect to my mysql, Is their a certain command I have to type before mysql works properly?

Re: MySQL - How to Set it up

Do you get "Can't connect" errors or "Access denied" errors? What command are you using to connect?

Re: MySQL - How to Set it up

Well ... there is more to MySQL than the install. You need to have an account, in fact, by default the root password of MySQL is blank and you should log in as root and enter a password, then create a uer account, and then you can get to use it.
Perhaps, this : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP will be of help.
