tmccartney66 Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 I'm trying to install a chat program called ZZ:FlashChat. It requires me to create a database and then, in a configuration file, to specify the server name, DB name, username and password. I'm able to do everything but the password, because I haven't, to my knowledge, assigned a password to the new database. How do I do this? Thanks! Quote
LisaJill Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 You need to go to cpanel, then mysql databases. If you haven't created a password then you probably did not add a user - so click "add user". Then, you need to use the dropdowns to choose the database and the user, and then click the button "add user to database" - click ok. Then the username and password that it asks for are the mysql username and password you just set up. The username will be in the format cpanelname_username, password will just be the password you created. Does that help? Quote
tmccartney66 Posted August 5, 2004 Author Posted August 5, 2004 Definitely - I was trying to use one of the existing users, but once I just created a new one, everything was cool. Thanks! Quote
