Title: Cant access Mysql
Post by: Anonymous on May 21, 2004, 10:50:52 AM

I am trying to install a Php/Mysql based chat room onto my SME 6.0 server.

It comes with an idiots guide to installation, they obviously hadnt anticipated me !

It is asking for the following
Database Host
Database Name
DAtabase Username
Database password

I am new to Mysql so dont particularly understand it that well. I thought that Mysql was already installed on the server and if so how do I go about creating a mysql database.

Any ideas?

Search contribs for phpmyadmin, install the appropriate version for your version of SME, and off you go.  

Good luck and happy searching.
