real NEWb question.....



But I'm stumped.....
I've got a windows 2000 server and I am trying to set up PHPBB on it using a
mysql database.. I am very inexperienced on this.....

Ive installed mysql V4.0.20d and I can get it up and running.
I then run winmysqladmin V1.4 (the mysql service is running)
When I go to databases inside the admin, it shows on the left side the name
of the server and IP address and it has a 'test' database listed below
it.....
From what I've seen (and I've even seen pictures of it), when I right click
in that box, I should get a menu with the option to create a new
database....
BUT I DO NOT!
i get a menu with options to:
Flush: hosts
Flush: Logs
Flush: tables
Flush: threads

these is NO add new database option... Nowhere can I find the ability to add
a new database....
I've removed , re downloaded and reinstalled twice and everything is the
same...
What am I doing wrong??

thank you

i too am a newbie but i got a work around for you as i dont use
winmysqladmin

got to command prompt on your win 2 k box..

cd to c:\mysql\bin or the bin directory under where you installed mysql

run mysql client with the command mysql (or if you set a password already do
something like mysql -uroot -ppassword

once you are in type

create database fred

you will then have a database called fred....

good luck!

Just refresh the browser when looking at phpmyadmin, and in the middle
of the screen there should be an input box to create a new db.

Hi there, I have a small question: I have a table with lots of rows in it. Of course all have a different id, but each can be assigned to a certain category. Categories correspond with 1 - 10. So a row looks like this: 'unique id | 4' What i want is to do a count how much rows belong to a certain category.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
