hi folks, i am not new to linux, but am to mysql.

i run a website, on which i decided to put vpet, a virtual pet php thing. now in the instalation of this thing, it did not ask for an admin password. but it did come with a database. so i'm guessing the login is hidden in there.


heres the question, i have phpmyadmin. how the heck do i read the database?

Are you saying you installed it and it works but you didn't give any user names or passwords ?

Or haven't you got that far ?

Here's a howto but I don't know if it's your version.

Basically, you use your web hosting control panel to create a database with a user name and password, then using phpmyadmin, import the .sql file you get with vpet.
Change the relevant config file to reflect your server and database.
Login to the pet control panel and set it up.

It can't create a database itself because it doesn't know your database user name and password.

You do have a database username and password for your server ?

Cheers, I found that one to, and one or to others running the game. The defulat login and password is err admin admin ! changed it now of course.

Oh I had made a user, but it didn't off me a chance for admin, but it was in the DB, but that page and my docs told me what it was too
