Creating mySQL db with a php script

[chaosAdmin]

Im trying to create a database using a php script and not through the control panel but it wont create the db and returns no errors to the page. I know we use "localhost" for the connect to host, but what about the username and password, do we use our ftp login or what. Cause even if i create a user through the control panel and use that the script still wont create the db.

hostrocket probably did not give you the right to create DB's. I'm betting you HAVE to use the control pannel.

You have to use it to create DBs and usernames.. or you could use PHPMyAdmin which is installed on your server as well. You can populate the tables with a dumpfile though.

How can I access PHPMyAdmin on my server? I checked all my directories and don't see anything related to it.

Go to your control panel and click the MySQL Manager link.

Whoops! I thought it was an extra front-end that I had to install. I have used that part of the Control Panel before, just didn't realize that it was PHPMyAdmin.
