Hi there

I need help in installing Zen Cart on my computer because I would like to manipulate the cart offline.

Please tell me if I have done this right:
1. I have a hosting with streamline.net, Linux, I installed Zen-Cart properly, that's great.
2. I would like to do Zen-Cart offline to make modification easier. OK
3. My PC is running Windows Vista
4. I installed Apache 2.2 in my C:/ - installed successfully
5. I installed the latest PHP - successful
6. Installed phpmyAdmin in Apache2.2/htdocs - installed successfully
7. I installed mySQL same dir, installed OK

When I try running the Zen Cart, it said in the installation My SQL is turned off, which is why I couldn't install zen cart locally. I want to create a database locally, but I don not know how.

Pleaser help

Would somebody tell me how to go through with it? I don't know if I'm doing the right thing... just following some reading from somewhere.

Thanks.
