Who here is good w/mysql for linux? I need some help setting up my phpbb2 forums...

[Paulson]

I'm confused as hell and have read the manual...

so far I've created a database but don't know anything else...

if anyone could help me, I'd really appreciate it...

You should request for help in a more specific manner. It could turn out to be a simple issue that anybody with knowledge of any RDBMS could figure it out easily.

all I need help is creating a user name & password for my database in mysql...

it looks really simple but I'm still confused as hell

try using Phpmyadmin http://www.phpmyadmin.org/.
Great tool to easily set up / configure a Mysql database

 

[Paulson]

well I wish it was that easy and it probably is... I'm just new to linux and was able to setup apache and stuff so i'm not really familiar with any type of database software...

Another recommendation for PhpMyadmin.

If you don't want to do it that way, you are going to have to do a lot of footwork with grant tables, etc., through the text-based mysqladmin. It's not that hard, just time-consuming.
