MySql database
Permalink
Hi, I'm a complete novice at this and have hit a bit of a brick wal.
I ha come to the point in the installation of Concrete5 where it asks me for the MySql details.
Although I have installed the MySql software on my computer, I need to set up a database.
I have no idea how to do this, so was hoping someone here could help me get over this hurdle.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dan

It sounds like you are going to use your local computer as server, with something like WAMP, EasyPHP, or some similar emulator.
Concrete5 needs an empty database (if you install it manually like you probably do).
Check the documentation with your WAMP on how to create a database with MySql.
Create it and use it's data when the concrete5 installer asks for them.
The url you need is probably localhost orhttp://127.0.0.1/
Your WAMP will have a script called phpMyAdmin. With this, you can check (and edit) your databases.
