Uploading mySQL data -- I'm lost

[dlowery]

I have several websites (on other hosting services), each of which offers control with 'cPanel'. I'm going crazy trying to get things working HERE! (Maybe I'm too anxious).

My site is database driven, therefore I need mySQL up and running. I have activated the service, apparently successfully. I have installed 'phpMyAdmin' in the directory and with the config changes recommended in User Help.

I get the dreaded Error 404 when I try to launch phpMyAdmin.

The database itself is working beautifully (with phpMyAdmin) on an in-office computer 'localhost' running apache, php, mySQL, etc. But without phpMyAdmin available I don't know how to upload my data. The db server doesn't seem to be available by FTP.

Have I missed something? Are there other steps that need to be taken? I am not a novice and I have checked and double-checked privileges, passwords, and on-and-on!

Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated!

have you configured phpMyAdmin with the correct server/user/password? phpMyAdmin usues a file called "config.inc.php" to store all of this info. See the phpMyAdmin documentation for more details.

a 404 error means you are going to a page that does not exist. You are sure you are going to the correct URL for your phpMyAdmin installation?

Yes...to all the above! <sigh>

Unless mysql04.powweb.com is not a working server....

Dang! Thanks, devinemke....for you suggestions. I just found the problem. The directory on the server (in htdocs) has upper-case M and A !!! <blush>

And now, just minutes later, my draft database has been uploaded and seems to work just as expected.

Thanks to anybody and everybody who happened to look at my original post and pondered the problem.

See what the DOS/Win brain-jam can do for you? You overlook the most obvious problem! Just like M$!!!
