Hey, Thanks for replying. I login with username "root" and a password I set in the ensim control panel, it works perfectly. I dont really know if I am "in the mysql database"...but there are a couple of tables or dbs there... >What id are you using to create the table? I guess root, coz thats what I login with....not really sure what "id" is. I do think its a permissions issue...but I dont want to touch any settings till I hear from someone who knows about this as I know squat.
------------- Let us know what type of OS do you have this on. First guesses are persmissions....Have you set the permissions properly on the data directory for mysql? And what user is running mysql currently? When you started it, if *NIX, you should have supplied a user, i.e. bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & This would mean that the mysql user would have to exist and have all rights to the data directory. hth Jeff ------------- Cheers, -Ryan * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I'm not an expert (by any means) but are you in the mysql database when you're trying to create the new db? If so that might be the reason. What id are you using to create the table? Does this ID have the appropriate permissions to create the db?
