Re: Coldfusion?

2002-01-11 Thread Bryan Capitano

ColdFusion server on Unix/Linux platform, then yes. The ColdFusion server for
Linux/Unix comes complete with the MySQL drivers necessary. I have successfully
created CF-MySQL pages without any problem.

When I have installed ColdFusion on Windows platforms, it has NOT come with the
MySQL drivers.
I'm not sure if there's a place to get MySQL drivers for ColdFusion? I haven't
tried. The My-ODBC drivers might work. I don't know.

Re: setting root psswd on Win2K ??

2002-01-10 Thread Bryan Capitano

Yes, thank you, everybody's comments have been helpful.
It seems, as Roel has noted, that the user where user='' and host='localhost'
has all kinds of
privileges. Which explains why when I log in as simply 'mysql' without
specifying a particular
user, than I have omnipotent powers.

delete from user
where user=''
and host='localhost'

now this does the trick!
(I will note however, that this is NOT plainly described in the MySQL
installation and setup. I only found it after searching in about 5 different
locations. Even then, the significance of this 'empty' user was not well
impressed upon me. The documentation could be more clear on this VERY
important fact.)

Thanks everyone!

 be sure to fully read the section on security and you'll find an answer to

 btw after dopping table 'user' I think you might have to reinstall MySQL

 Having some problems setting root password on MySQL. Can anybody help
 me?

 I've just installed MySQL 3.23.38 on a Windows 2000 server.
 I'm following the directions in the documenation for setting the root
 password:

 mysql -u root mysql
 mysqlUPDATE user
 mysqlSET password=password('mynewpass')
 mysqlWHERE user='root';
 mysqlFLUSH PRIVILEGES;

 okay, all seemed fine. now if I log out and log back as pain old nobody:

 mysql
 mysqluse mysql;
 mysqldrop table user;
 okay 1 table affected.

 How come just anybody can log into my MySQL server and start dropping
 tables
 in the mysql database?? This shouldn't be right. What have I done wrong?

 Either I have a serious mis-understanding or something is seriously not
 right here.

 Thanks for any help!

Consequtive, Sequential auto-increment?

2001-11-14 Thread Bryan Capitano

When I delete items from a table where I've got an auto-incremented
primary key/index, call it table_id, I'd like to keep this column
consequtive and sequential. In other words, when I delete items from the
middle, then the column is no longer sequential because there is a
number missing. Is there a function to re-index the column?

Re: Need A book for dynamic website

2001-11-14 Thread Bryan Capitano

PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson (Sams
Publishing, Copyright 2001) is the best book on the market I think. But it
depends on your skill level. This book has a section on basic PHP language,
another section on setting up MySQL databases, and a third section with practical
examples of PHP/MySQL projects, including source code etc.

This book covers 90% of everything you'd need to REALLY know. For the other 10%,
I like to use the WROX series Professional PHP Programming by Castagnetto,
Rawat, Schumann et. al. It has more fine details of the PHP language which
Welling and Thomson just couldn't cover. But the WROX book only has one chapter
on interfacing with MySQL. It does have a nice library of MySQL functions in the
glossary, however, which Welling and Thomson would have been really wise to
incorporate.

The two of these books make a SLAMMING dynamic duo. You just can't fail with
them.

Re: Need A book for dynamic website

2001-11-14 Thread Bryan Capitano

My experience with DuBois's book is that it's GREAT for MySQL, especially when
you want to interface with MySQL at the server level -- with C or C++ for
example.

But for PHP/MySQL or using MySQL at any level of web interfacing, this book just
doesn't do it.

 The best-rated book is the one I chose to get:

 MySQL
 by Paul DuBois
 New Riders

 I think it's awesome.

 (Although neither it nor the web site documentation can help me with my
 problem in shutting down the mysql daemon with mysqladmin..  !)

 I originally had purchased

 MySQL/PHP Database Applications
 by Jay Greenspan and Brad (forget last name)

 And found its example code was ridden with typos and errors, to the
 point that I was having a great deal of trouble following the text.  I
 took it back to the store to get the DuBois book.

Re: Need A book for dynamic website

2001-11-14 Thread Bryan Capitano

Todd  Are you familiar with either of the books I recommended? Each of
them does a fine job explaining (1) how to use PHP -- as a beginner (2) how
to use MySQL -- as a beginner.  The language is simple. If you've never come
across a for{} loop, it explains it clearly. If you've never seen an RDBMS,
or any of it's terminology, you will get a fine introduction. AND, what I
liked about these books (as a beginner) was that they had plenty of room to
grow -- chapters on more advanced topics, practical projects with source
code. You certainly don't have to read those chapters first. I like to get
books which have a few more miles that just the basics.

Nevertheless, if you need something more basic, with more elementary
language, I would suggest a book like Introductory Web Development, which
doesn't dive into topics like PHP and MySQL--because these are already
advanced topics relative to web development.

If you can't run with the big dogs, then stay on the porch.

Re: can't connect through socket using PHP script

2001-07-27 Thread Bryan Capitano

Usually this means your MySQL daemon, mysqld, is not started. Which OS are
you using? Under RedHat Linux, you can get your mysqld running on init
runlevels 3 and 5 (network services with and without X-windows) this way:

% chkconfig --level 35 mysqld on
% /etc/init.d/mysqld start

check to make sure it's working:
% chkconfig --list mysqld

now your mysqld daemon will be running--and will start on runlevels 3 and
5 every time the system boots.

now try connecting to MySQL server via php script.


On Thu, 26 Jul 2001, cjackson wrote:

 What does this error mean? I am trying to authenticate from a php script using the

 The user username is able to login to mysql ata command prompt.
