A Simple MySQL Problem

[trekie8472]

I must be missing some key link here. I bought myself a nice little mysql database, and made a user for it will all privileges granted. I installed phpMyAdmin, but my database doesn't show up on the left side of the screen. All I get under my nice little phpmyadmin logo is a 'No databases'. I have sql installed on my local computer and have tried to use the MySQL Control Center to connect to it by putting in my user name and password and database name and server its hosted on and all that, but to no avail. It give me a 'ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'space.powweb.com' (10061)'. What am i missing?

Are you entering the mysql database location, AND NOT your websites location?

[trekie8472]

Yes, I enter "space.powweb.com" which is the sql server I was assigned, if I understand correctly. Even if I'm doing the Control Center stuff wrong, shouldn't it show up on my phpMyAdmin page?

Hmm... Control Center is easier to set up than phpMyAdmin which has to be configured before it will work.

If you are certain that you entered your server, user, and password OK, then I'd contact powweb.

Are you sure about that server name for your mysql database? Look in OPS under mySQL to check it.
