Hello.

I am running PhpTriad on my pc, locally.

I am trying to run yabbse[yabb.info], or any php script with mysql for that matter.

For installing the script, I need to have a mysql username and password.

It's no-brainer to create a new database in phpmyadmin, but how does one create a username and password in it?

Do we run a query for it in there?

Thanks.

when running scripts locally with phptriad you can leave the username empty "" (I think) and the password is the same as the one MySQL prompted you for during setup.

Hello.

Yes, thanks it works. Also, we have to leave the password field blank, since phptriad installs mysql by itself and it doesn't ask for any password. : )
