Complete NOOB!!!

[kris1]

I have my server up and running...i can at least log into it and it seems to function well. Haven't done much though.

I was trying to start learning about how to change my server's rules, and it seems like i am missing something. I've read a bunch of explanations and I can't for the life of me even begin to see what they are talking about.

I found HeidiSQL...I opened it...another mystery. I see people explain it like it should be obvious, but it's not.

So if anyone knows of a good guide for the basics of how to modify your server rules...I mean BASICS, like I have no idea what file or files in my server folder is even the database...or can give me a brief tutorial on how to get my server's DB open inside of heidiSQL...anything.

Thanks in advance for any help
