Heya,
Im a complete newbie at this but im trying to sort out a few things. Ive got a copy of apache and php all up and running. the <?phpinfo> returns info so its all up and working. Ive been following an article at webmonkey but its got me stumped:
'Anyway, let's get on with the database. For Win32 users, I'm sorry, but this requires some DOS work. You'll have to use a DOS window or type everything in the Run window. Don't forget to type in the path to the location of the MySQL/bin directory with your commands. Unix users can work from the MySQL bin directory, but you may have to start each command with ./ so the programs run.
The first thing we need to do is create the actual database. From the command line, type:
mysqladmin -u root create mydb'
Hell do I go about creating my first database ? I dont actually have a dir name 'mysql' like it implies I should. It seems kinda weird to me, says we will deal with win32 first then goes on to unix commands. Im a newbie like im said so im not sure, Can someone help me out please.
Thanks
