quick install question about phpMyAdmin

2001-02-16 Thread ited

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"?

Re: will this work? [phpMyAdmin]

2001-02-14 Thread ited

how do i configure phpMyAdmin?

i'd rather be reading a manual but i cannot find one that i can understand.

i have iTools, Apache and MySQL... and PHP4.

i know MySQL works because i have made a db with my Terminal.

but i have never made a login or password for MySQL, i simply logon 
to my computer as root.

if PHP needs to be started and configured i do not know how. please 
help. i just want to get it running so i can continue.

i am not allowed to post the phpMyAdmin list that i have subscribed 
to. as far as i can see there is no simple setup manual.

thank you in advance.

will this work? [phpMyAdmin]

2001-02-13 Thread ited

does the current version of 'phpMyAdmin 2.1.0 work with PHP 4.0.4?

i downloaded 'phpMyAdmin 2.1.0 with php3 extensions' (from the php 
site) and my browser won't even open the file 'index.php3' as a file.
and when i try to go to http://myhost/path_to/phpMyAdmin/index.php3

i get 'the requested url cannot be found on this server'.

thanks for any help.

also, in the setup of phpMyAdmin -i have created a db in MySQL but i 
have no login or password for MySQL -i just use it as is to test for 
myself.

Re: copying databases

2001-02-11 Thread ited

ok, fyi, the below worked fine.
now...
as readers here may know, this db newbie had problems getting MySQL 
up and running -much like the other person with pwd problems. i 
erased the drive (OS X pb/Tenon iTools), reinstalled and all is well, 
it even starts itself.

i have created one db with several (3) tables of my own; i have not 
deployed it or even made the scripts (php) for it yet -i will :)

now i know the manual talks about a password to sign in to MySQL and 
to grant privileges for dbs. so far i have always been logged into my 
COMPUTER as root.
i have set *no other passwords* anywhere. last time i messed with the 
-p flag in MySQL i apparently got everything totally whacked.

1) should i establish a password with iTools admin? if so, should i 
do that first? does that affect the MySQL that i downloaded from 
Tenon's site?
2) should i establish a password with MySQL? is this a 'root' password?
3) and finally..., just for me, as root(?), must i establish a 
password for each and every db?

i will figure out how to assign grants(s) and passwords for other 
users (besides me later; however, knowledge of the above (1, 2, 3) 
will expedite that greatly.

thank you in advance for any help.

thanks also for your patience with newbies, as you must know "newbie" 
focus (mine anyway) is spread out rather thinly all over the place! 
RTM in not always easy to grasp and tediously slow.

copying databases

2001-02-11 Thread ited

hi,

i'm a stu so don't all the time in the world... who does!

last night i took a MySQL database (a folder i got out of the 
MySQL/data folder) home and copied into the data folder on my 
machine, is this ok?

unfortunately i cannot simply 'see if it runs' because i am having 
those terrible socket and password problems and so MySQL won't run at 
home, yet. :(

but once i get it i want to be prepared.

thank you.

Ted
