I would prefer to talk to a person with a real name, rather > than to "a a". my name is Henry now i understand i must hit the reply to ALL button ... i did not intend to reply to you personally ... but i did not receive a mail from you maybe i deleted it by accident the MySQL is the install that came with FC3 ... i have done nothing more than use the update and attempt a phpMyAdmin installation and everything stops there you say you set up the database tables according to the documentation but my understanding is this is not a necessary step all that is necessary is to input a control user and pass, setup the control user and pass and grants in mysql, select cookie, start mysql, start apachectl, then open the index.php ... but it just wont work do i need to create databases to view index.php?
