Does anyone know of a web front end to MySQL for database creation similar to Quickbase that is available for v5.5?

[Christian Sandfeld]

A superb web frontend for MySQL is PhpMyAdmin which you can get from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

Now all you need is the password of the MySQL root user (and so do I... anyone ???)

Guess who hasn't searched these forums. Try searching here for "mysql password".

Hehe... that's actually why I came here in the first place, just happened to stumble across Steve's post before getting to the actual searching part

Ok, so for those of you who might like to know this, I found the password in /root/.my.cnf

Yep phpMyadmin works fine but I also installed webmin (i like the pretty pictures) and it works fine for playing with mysql specially users, permissions etc

Hi,

_DONT_ use webmin as it will break the 'e-smith' kind of way managing the server.

Use phpmyadmin instead as described earlier.

Or use mysqlfront from http://my.anse.de/ (client install)

maybe i should have said - i use webmin for the mysql admin ,fetchmail.-though this only works under root (users wont have permission), rpm and generally monitering the server but dont try using webmin to configure any major services apache,users,samba qmail.etc
I still maintain it has a pretty graphical interface and can allow a newbie like myself an insight into the workings of linux and the placement/location of files as  the rpm module can display.

How i can open /root/.my.cnf?
Do you know the "standard" password?

Hi Manuel
At the box/console, login as root and use Midnight Commander to browse the directory structure.
After login, type mc, press enter.

Oh, Midnight Commander, thank you!
