Newbie - Where do I look for answers?

2003-01-02 Thread DIetrich Speer
I am a complete newbie to mysql and Linux.

I completed the installation of the 4.0 version of MySQL/InnoDB, and now I
am stuck with permission
problems: Logging in with empty username/password lets me look at the
initial state of the db, but creating new users or new tables through any
front end fails with permission problem messages.

SQL (MS-SQL) is second nature to me, but this is not.

- Where do I find an EASY, straight forward manual about MySQL
administration on Linux

- As the root user, how (and where) do I create new MySQL users, set
permissions correctly?

I would be very greatful for any help

Dietrich

Hi,

www.google.com
www.mysql.com (the manual)
www.devshed.com --server side -- mysql

devshed has some very good articles.. Not sure if you think those are easy.

Have fun,

If you are familiar with MS-SQL and SQL in general then reading the manual 
should be no problem.  Likewise, using a command line interface should be 
second nature.  The MySQL manual is very complete.  See chapter 4.  In 
particular see 4.3, it very clearly explains how to setup the root password 
and how to setup new users.

Also see http://www.webmonkey.com ... they had a MySQL + PHP tutorial on 
there at one point, specifically targetted to running an Apache + PHP + 
MySQL Linux box for Windows users.  That's probably a good place to look 
as well (just skip to the MySQL bits).
