> perror 13 returns Error code 13: Permission denied You do not have permission to create databases as the default user.
As installed. there is already a test database called 'test' and a test user called 'test' with no password to do the kind of inital trying out you probably want. May I suggest you use the mysql tool rather than the mysqladmin tool for initial playing. "mysql -utest" will get you in to a useful environment. mysqladmin is really only, as its name suggests, for admin purposes, not development or tryout purposes. |---------+----------------------------> | | "wiley" | | | <wiley@wileycreat| | | ions.com> | | | | | | 03/02/2003 04:44 | | | | |---------+----------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | cc: | | Subject: beginner stuff; cant create database | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Easy question for beginner.
