Installing Drupal

Am installing Drupal (on EasyPHP) for the first time.

Have got up to Stage 3 of the install.txt file and am hitting a blank.

3. LOAD THE DRUPAL DATABASE SCHEME

Once you have a database, you must load the required tables:

$ mysql -u nobody -p drupal < database/database.mysql

In my case my username is root, so I've substituted this in for "nobody".

I'm asuming "drupal" refers to the database that I've just created.

So when I enter the above line I get

I've downloaded the taxonomy access module and patch. I've put them into a folder called patching on my Desktop. Then I tried to run the patch command and this is what I got. Pls. help! What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone ever install drupal on windows server with IIS instead of Apache, please tell me the how to do it..., or is there any writen guide on this installation.

thanks

how can i solve this?

I'm attempting a installation on a kind of weird configuration for my blog site; the error I'm getting is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in D:\www\dommains\ihate.info\wwwroot\includes\common.inc on line 588

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: menu_execute_active_handler() in D:\www\dommains\ihate.info\wwwroot\index.php on line 18 (usualy line 17)

I'm trying to install on a:

Windows 2003 server
IIS 6
mySQL 3.23.49 (I think)
PHP 4.34 (http://ihate.info/phpinfo.php)

Hi
I have used the settings from installation book at drupal.org/book/print/258 and along with xampp have been able to set up apache, PHP, and MySql successfully. I have created the sql database drupal and successfully imported the database tables. I am developing locally and my directory stucture to my index.php file on my computer is C:\apachefriends\xampp\apache\drupal-4.5.1

my settings for connecting drupal in my conf file in "includes" are:

$db_url = "mysql://dba_user:mypassword@localhost/drupal";
