Patric Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Did you create a database before installing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labs Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 No, I don't know how. I expect programs to create everything they need in their installation process.How do I create the necessary database manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patric Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 No, the PHP isntaller can't create the DB, you have to do it by yourself before.Where are you trying to install. Please give details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radu Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I expect programs to create everything they need in their installation process. unfortunately on all shared servers you don't have the root password for mysql in order for the script to create a new database.
