All right bads. hehe
I know what the problem is.
I'm sure you mean no right click menu in msyql. They removed it. Dont have a clue why.
So instead what you need to do is this.
Will update my guide later. Sorry about that. Forgot they did that.
Fist click run:
Then cmd.
Then:
cd C:\mysql\bin
and then run this command to create the database
mysqladmin create ibf -h localhost -u "username" -p "password" -p 3306
where it says username but your mysql username and for password put your mysql password and remove the " " marks of course
now it sould say:
Enter password: ********
mysqladmin: Unknown command: 'password here'
Its a bug. But if you run the command again you will see it was created succesfully and already exists.
Then just run the invsionboard installer sm_install.php
then for database name is ibf and type in your user name and pw
then it should work fine
if not then pw and user name where wrong and u know that by now since u would get pw wrong error above
so then you need to edit your my.cnf or my.ini file which should be in your windows or winnt directory
any more problems just ask but you should be good to go
oh and about phpmyadmin
think i will add how to install that to my guide too..going to update the whole thing this weekend
anyways download phpmyadmin and put it in your server directory
then open config.inc
and edit it to your needs...its very very well documented so you should have no problem with that...
but anyways u just have to edit line 80 and 81:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'username goes here'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password goes here'; // MySQL password (only needed
// with 'config' auth_type)
do not use root
thats it there is no installer
u just then open /phpmyadmin/index.php in your web browser and your good to go... basic setup anyways...just check that config.inc for all the other settings you can change...just be sure to back it up...
really should be using a php editing program that backs up automatically...
i use TextPad
