RE: inquiry
Philip, For starters, you are not wasting my time. I know the difficulties, as it took me a while to get it installed and running. I would suggest you take a look over your book a little more carefully. I could be wrong, but it should have mentioned that mysql_install_db is a shell script for Linux, not usable on Windows. I don't have the book you are using so I can only refer you to the windows installation section of the MySQL manual to get the ball rolling. After that (after you have it all set up), you "should" be able to follow your book. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Windows_installation.html ...also see the subsections and the windows specific links. Also, from what you said, I gather you have not set up one of the my.ini or my.cfg files. This is most likely where you are having your troubles. For more info about them, start here. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Option_files.html If after all that you still have troubles, drop me an email (use addy in my sig below). State what you did and any error messages you received and I'll be glad to help get you on the right road again. -- Loren McDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Philip McCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 5:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: inquiry Loren Firstly thanks heaps for your reply. I will try and be as specific as possible to not waste your time. If indeed the connection is defaulting to the user ODBC and it is set in one of the my.* files, where can I see this? Fix this? I should go back a bit and mention that as I was working through my book, the first hurdle I encountered was setting up the initial grant tables. When I typed c:\mysql\scripts\mysql_install_db I got the error message: 'mysql_intall_db' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I uninstalled mysql, resintalled and still got the same message. I gather this should have worked? I did this by opening 'run' from the start bar, typing in cmd to open the command line, cd \ to change to the root directory, cd mysql to change to the mysql folder, cd scripts to change to the scripts folder and then mysql_install_db to run this. No luck.

Database Backup Question
This is actually more a PHP question but since it refers to a MySQL database I thought I would ask here. I may not be looking in the right places but, I can't seem to find a way to do a database backup through PHP (other than BACKUP TABLE, which I don't want to use if possible) What I mean is this: I want to create a page that will allow me to click one button to initiate a backup process. That action will then start a dump of a specified database to a text file that could then be shown on a succeeding (success) page as a link for download (If there's a way to zip prior to downloading, which would be even better). I intend on using this as a manual backup process, so I want it to work like the mysqldump.exe or mysqlhotcopy.exe. (All the tables are MyISAM) The only way I see this working would be to write in PHP a long script that will manually create that dump file itself by using SELECT and so forth. This seems a bit redundant and extravagant a way to go.

Oopssorry.

This one is relatively simple: Drop the WHERE evtphoto.phtusage = 1.

RE: mysql.users read only?
What I have discovered is that, when mysqld Windows service is running, I can't do anything to the user table. If I start it on the command line with the service stopped but set automatic, it works just fine.

RE: Can't connect to MySQL server & Access denied for root
Sounds like the same problem I'm having (for which I'm still stumped and don't know what has caused it): table mysql.user is read only.

mysql.users read only?
Im not sure what has gone wrong but the mysql.users table is set as read only. I am trying to grant user privileges but cant because of this. How can I change the status so that I can add to it? I am logging in (localhost) using the (unchanged default) u root account, so I know thats not the problem. -- Loren McDonald Gods Of Music Reviewer/Editor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.GodsOfMusic.com - 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?
