hi,  I am setting up for the first time , and have successfully installed the database, but with no user or pass,  it then goes to the select catalog or admin page after saying config successful, but i cant seem to get no further.    I am installing everything onto my local machine with apache
/phptriad.   I am pretty new to all this, do i need to set a user and pass for the database in mysql?  if so how.

this is the page it goes to after saying installation successful

http://localhost/catalog/INSTALL/://localhost/index.php
