I googled for hours and I still can t find how to log in as a user other than root. Plus- all the things I have read show the thing on the left as being "shell>" at first- but when I start- it just says "Enter Password". Even w3school s hello world didn t help because I DON T EVEN KNOW WHAT MY USERNAME IS. I have never felt so stupid in my life- and this was also the first time I have ever used "all caps" when writing a phrase. By the way- I have php and apache working perfectly- just not with mysql.
I can login fine- but I cant change users.
