vang163 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi, I'm a beginner. I've just install a new software "mysql_phpgenerator" on my pc (windows xp). After installation, the software requires me to input the following information: Connecting properties Host name: Port number: User name: Password: Database: I do not know how to proceed from here. I think the software wants to connect to a existing MYSQL database which i do not have one in my pc. If i were to use WAMP, how can i configure WAMP so that the software can use the database in WAMP? If not, what other mysql program can i use to make it work? Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 just install WAMP (or XAMPP), get it running as a service and put in the details as required. you shouldn't have too much difficulty - MySQL is not completely "confined" to WAMP as far as I know, it just runs as its own separate service. and to be honest i've not heard of the software in question so not a clue what it does, so if you can give more info or a link, maybe others will be able to help further?

Daniel0 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 MySQL is not completely "confined" to WAMP as far as I know, it just runs as its own separate service. The M in [WL]AMP means MySQL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 sure - i just mean that if he has [WLX]AMP[P] installed, the MySQL service runs so that other software on the computer not necessarily having anything to do with the package can still use MySQL without having to further "configure WAMP" or anything else for that matter. Just the details requested should do the trick If i were to use WAMP, how can i configure WAMP so that the software can use the database in WAMP? If not, what other mysql program can i use to make it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vang163 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 mysql_phpgenerator_setup.exe is a software from this website - http://www.sqlmaestro.com/ I install mysql_phpgenerator_setup.exe and got stuck when it asked me for the following formation: Connecting properties Host name: Port number: User name: Password: Database: I install the WAMP in my pc but could not find any info to fill up the above information for the software. Do i need to create a database on WAMP after installation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 If you have installed WAMP then use the following details Host name: localhost Port number: 3306 User name: root The root user does not have a password defined by default so leave it empty. As for creating the database first this should not be necessary you should be able to do this via mysql_phpgenerater. You can easily create a database using phpmyadmin (Left click the WAMP taskbar icon and select phpMyAdmin from the menu) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
