Re: beginner stuff; cant create database
Wiley, E:\mysqladmin create TestDB mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Can't create database 'testdb'. (err no: 13)' Error 13 means permission denied. Check if the MySQL has write access to E:\. BTW, I don't think E:\ is a very good place to store your databases. I would recommend at least something like E:\data\ for this.

what happens when mysql -utest returns an error 2002? perror 2002 says that's an unknown error. -- Jude dashielljt(at)gmpexpress-dot-net - 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?

RE: beginner stuff; cant create database
Put the error number in to perror in ../mysql/bin It will then tell you what the error is about. ---snip--- /usr/local/mysql/bin$ ./perror 13 Error code 13: Permission denied ---snip--- This is an operating system error.

Re: beginner stuff; cant create database
perror 13 returns Error code 13: Permission denied You do not have permission to create databases as the default user. As installed. there is already a test database called 'test' and a test user called 'test' with no password to do the kind of inital trying out you probably want. May I suggest you use the mysql tool rather than the mysqladmin tool for initial playing. mysql -utest will get you in to a useful environment. mysqladmin is really only, as its name suggests, for admin purposes, not development or tryout purposes. |-+ | | wiley | | | wiley@wileycreat| | | ions.com| | || | | 03/02/2003 04:44 | | || |-+ --| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: | | Subject: beginner stuff; cant create database | --| Easy question for beginner.

Re: beginner stuff; cant create database
Hi Error 13 is Permission denied. Check you have write permissions on the mysql database directory (you might not if you copied from a CD for instance).

E:\mysqladmin create TestDB mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Can't create database 'testdb'. (err no: 13)' thanks in advance for anything... Because MySQL has no permissions on the datadir.
