The Highway to MySQL Hell

It was a long journey of trial and tribulations. I started two weeks ago trying to install MySQL on my iMac and I just now got the root level to work. I don't know what made it work I tried everything. Reading and trying new things for hours on end. I reinstall MySQL probably 5 times before I could get it to work and all it took at east I think that is all it took was to restart my computer and then restart the MySQL server. I wish someone would have said that instead of locate this file or locate this file and put this command line in. For one I couldn't find the damn file cause it didn't install it in the first place and on top of that the FAQs and manual on mysql's site is so damn confusing, especially for newbs like myself. Any ways after about 3 weeks and many hours in front of the computer I finally got MySQL to work properly so ha!

If any one is having trouble getting into your root level first restart your computer and see if that works before suffering for 3 weeks.
