I have recently installed mysql and ran the mysql_install_db script, with no problems. I then proceeded to set the root password, which worked fine as well. Now, when I type in "show databases;" I end up 8 rows of nothing; I have 8 databases running, but no text shows up in the console box, it just says "8 rows in set" at the bottom. If I "use db;", i have no problem selecting a database. Then if I type in "show tables;" I get an "Empty set", even though I know there are tables in these databases. I can type in an query I want, select, input, update, etc, and it all works fine, all the data is in the tables. I can use php to select, input, update, whatever I want and the data is all there, it shows up in HTML. Why does it not show up in the console, or even in phpMyadmin? On phpMyadmin, in the left frame where the list of databases is supposed to show up, nothing is there, all the rows, but no text or labels. Anyone ever hear of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
