if all that is needed is the mysql db then the "how to" needs to be updated and adjusted
showing how to set that up.

would that be MySQL Workbench 5.2.31a?

I had noted how old and out of date this was quite a few pages ago, and I created a guide on mxosource.com that includes XAMPP -- a far less intrusive Apache/SQL "server" to make things run smoothly and without forcing services into Windows.

Up to you if you want to use it. For your purposes, sure, Appserv will work fine. It's just overkill is all.
