Thread: How to set up MySQL?

Hi!
I can't find tutorial for MySQL and thus make me don't really know how to ask questions but please let me try to ask these:
1. I opened control panel . created MySQL Database .
after created, in the table under:
Database show Name that I created, but don't show User name even already added user. Why?


And I try to set up installation for Polling through browser and this is what I get:
Warning: include(conf.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rbnwr/public_html/iwork/setup.php on line 16

Warning: include(conf.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rbnwr/public_html/iwork/setup.php on line 16

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'conf.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rbnwr/public_html/iwork/setup.php on line 16

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'rbnwr'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/rbnwr/public_html/iwork/setup.php on line 17
MySQL Error: Unable to connect to database please check that you have provided the correct
Database Login username
Database Login Password

May I know, why is it being denied and how to correct and make changes below?

<?php

//Make the changes below
$db_host = "localhost"; //It is mostly localhost may not need to change it.

$db_name = "banner"; //Name of your database

$database_user = "user"; //Login name of your MYSQL database

$database_pass = "test"; //Password of your MYSQL Database

?>

Thank you.

You first create the database.
Then you create user / password.

Third, you MUST add the created user to the specific database, AND set his permissions.

Did you do ALL of the above before trying to install your script ?

Error messages: it is CLEAR from the message that the "config.php" file doesn't exist. The only possible reason for this is that it has not been uploaded.
Furthermore, it is obvious that you should have edited this file with the specific details of the DB/user/pass you created and THEN upload it to the necessary folder.
Since you haven't done so, the script tries to connect to the MySQL server but fails because it doesn't have the necessary details (because "config.php" is missing).

Yes, I have just done all these.

Yes, I have just uploaded with the script like this:

<?php
//Make the changes below
$db_host = "localhost"; //It is mostly localhost may not need to change it.
$db_name = "banner"; //rbnwrmty_examplesurvey
$database_user = "user"; //rbnwrmty_example
$database_pass = "test"; //12345678
?>

($database_pass = "test"; //12345678
Shall I change the "test" and 12345678 is it for password that I created at MySQL database?)

And now, this is what I get:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/rbnwrmty/public_html/iwork/setup.php on line 17
MySQL Error: Unable to connect to database please check that you have provided the correct
Database Login username
Database Login Password

Please advise what I am missing?

Thank you.

$db_name = "rbnwrmty_examplesurvey";
$database_user = "rbnwrmty_user"; //Usually this is cpanel_username_user where user is the user you created
$database_pass = "real_password";
?>

OK. I have got it .

Thank you.

I have created database [name] and database user.
The question is
How to define the architecture
How to define fields
How to input data

PS - I already have the database assembled using MS Access. It has 5000 records each record 30 fields. Now I want visitors to my page to consult.
I appreciate any help.

I think that first you have to create a new user
THen log on as that user
Then create databases...

If you don't log in as new user, then you will be root as default
