localhost db name and user

Hi all,

Im on localhost, what are the database name and the db user please?

Thanks

You should be able to get this information from your hosting provider. If you're actually installing on your own computer (not for production!), it's probably root/[nothing], unless you specified a password for the database user when installing MySQL.

i dont know what your username and password would be, but if somebody can tell you, i would recommend changing it immediately.

:)

I have try this :

dbuser : root

dbname : nothing and root

PW : nothing

But dont work.

Where are you installing? And if you're installing locally, how did you setup the local server?

Actually, I see you posted that you either left your database name information blank, or entered root. You need to specify the actual name of your database. Dolphin's installation script doesn't create the database for you.

Aha ok thanks. And how can I create a database?

You should be able to create a database with phpMyAdmin. If you want to create a database from the command line, you can follow the instructions in the install documentation: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DetailedInstall#UsingMySQLClient

thanks :)

I have download phpymyadmin. Iam now on this page : localhost/phpmyadmin

But what is the user and the pass of phpmyadmin?

Thanks

After installing phpMyAdmin, you should be able to login with your MySQL root account. If you're installing locally, and don't know the password for your database accounts, you're better off reinstalling or reconfiguring MySQL and specifying a password.

i dont mean to sound rash here, but exactly how is this a dolphin support inquiry? shouldnt you be over on mysql.com learning how to use mysql rather than posting your questions in a support forum for a specific application.

then even after given some guidance and not turned away, you are back with more questions, that are directly indicative of the fact that you may not be ready for a site like dolphin. because if you dont know or havent bothered to read how to run a wamp environment, why do you think your inquiries should be answered here. you have put forth 0 effort in learning what you are trying to do. any idiot can click download on a link or button. you need to read the docs of what you are trying to do. understand that what you are trying to do is not as simple as reading "Green Eggs and Ham", and the overall of learning php | mysql | phpmyadmin is a complex derivative.

if you dont know phpmyadmin, if you dont know mysql, if you dont know how to install something, you should read the docs and give it a best effort. whichever one is presenting the problem, that is the one you should look for a forum to frequent, because that is the one best suited for providing you the best answers.

do you go over to the microsoft forum and ask about dolphin, most likely not, nor would they be able to provide you with an answer. please think about what your needs are, and you are more likely going to be  better answer.

I'm going to assume you're installing locally then, and with that, I'm going to recommend you install a WAMP package. You'll have a complete web server with Apache, MySQL, and PHP, along with phpMyAdmin to manage your databases.

You can download WAMPServer here: http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php

If you're still having issues, you should consult some of the documentation, or you can contact me directly. I agree, this isn't really Dolphin related, and is getting long in the tooth.
