Create a file named "my.ini" in the "C:\Program Files\mysql" folder, and put the following text in:
To learn the Spring MVC framework, I'm going to create a web application named "Today in History", which has only one web page and it will display what happened today in history, such as historical facts, events, famous birthdays, world history, etc.
