Hi Len,

You need to create a database for PhpGedView to use.  The message below =
states that PhpGedView was able to connect to the MySQL Host using the =
username and password that you supplied, but it wasn't able to find the =
database name you entered on the configuration screen.  PhpGedView does =
not create a database automatically, you have to have one already =
created.  The reason that PhpGedView doesn't try to automatically create =
a database is that most hosts do not allow their users to create their =
own databases and charge them extra for every database that they do =
create.  So it wouldn't be good if PhpGedView just created databases.

If you already have a database name that you would like to use, just =
enter that name in the configuration screen.  You should be able to find =
out this information from your host.  If you don't have a database name, =
then you will need to create one.  Your host should have instructions =
somewhere on how to create a new database.

Subject: [Phpgedview-talk] mysql


Hi
I am a mysql newbie. as well as for phpgedview.

My ged com is 30meg, and will not import, does create the first file, =
but none of the indexes.

I set up mysql. by reading the posts, discovered that no user, no =
password will work. I I have mysql id & password, works from command =
line, is in the ini, but pgv will not connect using it.

i now get this message:
Here dbconn:Resource id #15 dbsel: dbuser: dbpass: Your current database =
configuration is bad. Please check your database connection parameters =
and configure again.PhpGedView made a connection to your MySQL database =
host, but was unable to use the database with the name you entered. =
Check that the database exists and that the usename you entered has the =
appropriate permissions on that database.
The file of course does not exist, pgv has not created it yet.
I then, using command line created the file in mysql, pathing it to the =
index sub-directory.
I used it from the command line works. no file was created in the index =
sub-directory.
I re-tried again and got the same message

What do I do to make it work?
