Basic Start Up of Admin

[techhead100k]

I hope this question isn't too basic and elementary; it is the burden of beginners like me to ask them.

I have setup MySQL on a hosting service. MySQL is an option for this Host and is engaged by selecting an option in the domain control panel they offer.

I have installed MySQL Admin and MySQL Control Panel.

I have install MySQL on my local drive and have been able to get it to start and stop according to command line responses and also have been able to start and stop the Admin.

I would like to get the Admin or the Control Panel to talk to MySQL on my hosting service. What would be some of the next basic step to achieve that connection?

Am I to do something on the server first or can I do it all from the admin?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I think the best way to do this is to install phpMyAdmin.

This will give users the possibility to remote administer their database.


You can get all info and all tarballs to ownload it here

YOu have not specified if you are using Linux or Windoz. If you are using Windoz then you have to use win32 apache.

thanks for the info Qatqat

I saw php and php3 files at the admin download site. I am running windoz xp; what is the difference of the two and which would be correct for xp?

You can still install PHP vers 4 on Windoz.
They have not yet released a stable version of PHP for Apache 2 so I suggest you install Apache 1.3 Win32 and PHP 4.3.1 for windows.
