Step 3

[wveinti]

I was finally able to install xampp everything works fine with that,
the problem I'm having is when I reach the screen that says :
3. Database Configuration
where it asks me for a Timetrex Username and password, I don't really know what to put there, and also it asks about a privileged user name.
I don't write anything and I hit test connection and I get this

your database as a non-privileged user has FAILED

Please advice because I'm stuck in this step

thanks for ur help.

What are the user name and password I need to use? or any step I'm missing in the installation

please help

thanks

ok thanks for the reply, but where do I execute this code? do I go to execute it ?
do I have to open a DOS session ??

thanks sorry I'm newby



[root@timetrex ~]# mysql -u root mysql

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'timetrex'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<MY_PASS>' WITH GRANT OPTION;

mysql> create database timetrex;

mysql> quit;

Now to test that everything worked:

[root@timetrex ~]# mysql -u timetrex -p<MY_PASS> timetrex

It you get the "mysql>" prompt, it worked!

Yes, you need to do this at the MySQL console, which there should be an icon for in your MySQL start menu folder.
