creating the first database

[castali]

I use windows 2000 pro
I don't use PHP but .net , but I think you can create a database and colomns directly with a control center ?

I have installled MySQL 4 and MySQL Control Center 0.6.3 beta + the ODBC

i have started winmysqladmin and enter user = rene / password = rene at the first launch

now I open MySQL control center .... connect to the server

on the tab general

I enter
Name = rene
Host = localhost
User = rene
password = rene

then I test and get an error >> the memory cannot be read this programm will close


i am trying to create a database with mySQL since one week

anyone knows how it is normally possible ? (no DOS please !)

thank you

I dunno what's wrong, but as you've got a beta version I'd say you've found a bug. They're now at version 0.9.4 if you wanna upgrade to that http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysqlcc.html

I have instaklled this version and now I get an error 2003 cabnt connect MySQL on RENE(10060)

here is my.ini

#This File was made using the WinMySQLAdmin 1.4 Tool

#Uncomment or Add only the keys that you know how works.
#Read the MySQL Manual for instructions

[mysqld]
basedir=C:/mysql
#bind-address=217.230.132.12
datadir=C:/mysql/data
#language=C:/mysql/share/your language directory
#slow query log#=
#tmpdir#=
#port=3306
#set-variable=key_buffer=16M
[WinMySQLadmin]
Server=C:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe
user=rene
password=rene



I put exactly the same in MySQL control center 0.9.4

then I press test and get this error

Is mysql running? Another thing to try is to have the username 'root' and leave password empty.

[castali]

I have tried with root .. same error

what I have not understood >>>> if the green light is in the bar is it open or not ?

I run winmysqladmin.exe and this put the green fire on

thank you

[Nightfire]

Yeah, that means it's running. I don't know what else to suggest, maybe raf will have something up his sleeve

[castali]

I have tried with root .. without ... it never works
