Can't Figure out Username and Password
Hello list. I'm new here. I programmed dBase several lifetimes ago and now fumble with Access when I have to. I've just purchased a license to a vBulletin message board, which employs PHP and MySQL, so it's time I FINALLY get around to learning these two. I am at my first hurdle. I uploaded all the files for vBulletin and it appears to be working correctly, but I can't get past the first setup screen because I am not supplying it with the correct username and password. My web host, who does NOT know PHP or MySQL, believes that the username/password I use for my domain should work. It doesn't. I have PHPMyadmin installed on the server. I went into it, went to the User table and entered name and pw into the default column. Still no go. Now I'm thinking that the installed MySQL either has no name/pw set up or some others I don't know about. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anybody know of good documentation for PHPMyAdmin that does not assume a lot of prior knowledge of MySQL? I've searched online and everything I found assumes a lot of terminology I don't know yet. I'm hoping I don't have to read the whole manual before I can get past that first screen.

Some Basic Questions I can't Find Answers to
I've got two MySQL books that I've just purchased in order to help me utilize the MySQL on my web host's server. I've been searching them both, but I still don't have answers to some very basic questions. Okay, the MySQL database I want to run will be on my web host. Since I don't have the server physically in my possession, is the working method to install MySQL to my machine, develop the routines there, then upload them to my server? I've been going on that assumption and have attempted to install to my Windows 2000 pro system. Still fumbling with that. Should I be trying to install the version most like the one on my host's server? He's on LInux Apache. Will that cause a problem? I don't see anything in either of these books on uploading, which makes me wonder if they're assuming I have access to the actual server. Of course I do, in a limited way, but I don't see any explanations on how to access the MySQL on my virtual machine over at the web host's. What am I missing here?
