MYSQL tools help

[etriad]

I'm trying to use a 3rd party db tool (DBManager) to manage my MySQL db.

Here is what is required to connect:

 

- server name

- hostname

- port number

- userid

- password

- database

 

Is anyone else using such a tool, and can you help me with these requirements. I have attempted to create a db using the cp admin, but even that is a little cryptic in the way it appends names to things.

 

TIA,

 

Phillip

Well, the name that is added to the database, is automatic. That's the way that the server can manage to have databases for everyone without the chance of two sharing the same name.

 

However, to answer your question:

 

Hostname is localhost

Port number can be left alone, it will have a default that is correct.

Server name I believe would be your domain name...

Userid can be your regular userid

and password is your login password

And database sounds like it wants the name of a database you create which would end up as <username>_<dbname you selected>

 

If you need any more help feel free to PM me.
