Setting up a Database
Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2004 1:58 pm
Hey all,
This may seem really stupid, but I'm struggling to set up a MySQL database for a forum I want to put up. I wanted to put up a version of phpBB forums that I had before(I had someone walk me through before, but for the life of me, cannot remember how to do it), and on a Windows system. I downloaded MySQL, but I believe you have to go into the program and enter some commands to get it working? I really cannot remember.
I have PHP installed, as well as Apache, so I assume I just need to get mySQL working before I can get these forums up... I also have phpMyAdmin page, but I'm not really sure how to go about getting MySQL to work in there either.
Any help is appreciated.
