I have a question.... the instructions said to start mysql and the type in:

* 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword');*Now I understand *
yourpassword* is what I choose. I am thinking '*root*' is also what I wan
it to be as well as '*localhost*'. But is '*localhost*' the name of your
webpage if you already have one?
