i must be really new! i had no idea and read nothing that said the entire phpMyAdmin directory needed to be in a website folder. (i figured the entire folder need to be in there, is there another way?) how do you folks usually set this up? i mean, do you setup a whole website just to do "admin via the web"? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
