Problem Initializing zabbix

[Davi_N]

Hi. I followed the instruction on the Zabbix reference manual and I had some problems there.
I have to say that I have no experience using Mysql. Nevertheless:

1. after untaring the zabbix tar file It says I need to run the following commands:
mysql -u<username> -p<password>
Which username should I give? I've tried all my accounts (including root).
2. When initializing Zabbix, I need to go to http://localhost/~zabbix i see the files and then I need to click on the config.php link and should get a screen that prompt me for user and password. Instead my browser (e.g. Mozilla) asks me where do I want to save the file (Save as...).
I've installed all the requirments (Mysql, Apache etc'), running on Suse 9.1.

Thanks.

is mod php installed for apache if so make sure that the following line is in your apache config

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


also your mysql probably does not have a root passwd so do like this mysql -u root < path/to/zabbix/sql.sql

without a passwd
