Re-install the sql server usually helps if not check the mysql config make sure its all set up properly


thanks i got it reinstalled and it works now.... Now how do I get mysql Administrator to connected to the server, the server doesnt seem to accept any connections from Mysql administrator, or is there a better graphical client for the server to use?

Hey did u try the very first 'mysql' command? On a clean install, it usually fires up without any password, directly into root account.

Else you may also try 'mysql --user=root'

If you were looking forward to perform mysqladmin functions, then its better you try the MySQL GUI tools kit.
Find it at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/

Also download the mysql manual. It is a mere must while you are working with MySQL.

try installing PHPMyAdmin its a php client that iprovides a GUI interface for managing SQL databases. PHPMyAdmin can be downloaded from https://www.phpmyadmin.net/, PHP is required to run this interface php loader can be downloaded from http://php.net/

 

 

Ok now that I got mysql installed and running and I got phpmyadmin installed, it says that I am missing the mysql module for php, I tried installing the module it suggests as an rpm that came with fedora but it does not work for some reason? is there somewher I can find this module to install? or is it just something I need to edit in one of my config files, and if so which one?
