OK, I've gotten further by fiddling with it.
I feel I'm close, but need someone experienced with this just to correct me slightly.
I did:
apachectl start
#safe_mysqld &
mysqlstart
then in /mnt/cf/phpwiki-1.3.7
mysqladmin -u -p create phpwiki
mysql -u -p phpwiki <schemas/mysql.sql
then vi /mnt/cf/phpwiki-1.3.7/index.htm and changed the $DBParams['dbtype' should to 'SQL'
and changed the 'dns' to 'dsn' => 'mysql://localhost/phpwiki'
So now when I open
http://localhost/ in a browser, I get:
lib/pear/DB.php:264: Warning[2]: Failed opening 'lib/pear/DB/mysql.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/home/www/php/lib/php')
lib/WikiDB/backend/PearDB.php:32: Fatal[256]: Can't connect to database: wikidb_backend_mysql: fatal database error
DB Error: not found
(Unable to include the DB/mysql.php file for `mysql://localhost/phpwiki')
lib/config.php:404: Notice[1024]: The admin password cannot be empty. Please update your /index.php
Did I go wrong by not creating the mysql with a username and password?
Or what do I need to change?
I am close, ain't I?
Thank you very much for any help you can give me, I don't really know what I'm doing with it at this point, just fiddlin' with it.
