You typically log on to mysql like this:
Quote:
mysql -uSOME_NON_ROOT_USER -pPASSWORD MYDATABASE
|
You then need to:
1. "create database"
<= This creates the database
You can also do it with "mysqladmin"
2. "create table"
<= This is the step it sounds like you were missing
3. "grant ... privileges"
<= You can do this to set permissions; it also lets
you create new mySQL users on-the-fly
Please go back to the instructions - it sounds like maybe you missed the "create table" part.
