hi everyone,

What a great resource this forum is - Ive found a lot of info on helping my get php/mysql up and running on my (new) mac (yes Im a mac newbie), but alas I am having problems.

Just to let you know, I cant wait until I get everything running properly - Ive been using IIS under windows for the last few years, developing stuff in ASP. Ive come to realise that asp is both slow and crap, weighted roughly equally. Cant wait to get started on php/sql.

Aaaannd so to my problem. I installed both the php and mysql modules as per the instructions on entropy.ch, and everything went perfect until it came to actually create a database.

I enter this command:

mmysqladmin create -p pooysqladmin create name

and get this returned:

mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'name''

I have activated the root, ive tried using su, then entering the command but it still gives back the same access denied error.

can anyone give me any advice, or point to an old thread?

many thanks
Jon

Being the SQL newbie that I am - I have found that WebMin is indispensible as a tool for accessing/modifying, etc mySQL.
