Mysql

[bode]

I'm totally new to all of this, but I'm getting there!

 

I'm installing an Invision Message board on my site. Everything has uploaded ok, but it requires a Mysql username and password. I tried creating one in Manage Mysql with no luck - just error messages.

 

Help!

 

Thanks

If I remember right,

the user name is youraccountname_logonnameyouwanttouse

and the password is what ever you want for the board.

 

as in if my account name is smith

and I want log in as robert,

the mysql users name could be

smith_robert

then to log into admin.php you would use

robert and a password.

once you create your database you also have to assign a user to that database.

 

i use phpbb so i created a db named phpbb, the actual database name will be yourmainusername_phpbb.

 

then I created a user with the username leezard, the username would look like yourmainusername_leezard

 

THEN you have to assign yourmainusername_leezard to the dbase yourmainusername_phpbb.

 

so in my config for the phpbb where it asks for username i put yourmainusername_leezard and for password i put in whatever password i supplied for that user.

Got it!! I hadn't gone the extra step and assigned the user.

 

thanks

Hello,

 

I am trying to setup phpbb and was wondering how you go about creating the Database. I am very new to this.
