Where to place MYSQL database?

[decmatt]

Hi

On uni servers we have access to a directory only, phpmyadmin does not seem to be installed, it seems to host ASP and PHP. The lecturers only know about ASP, and cannot help on this query, and the IT department won't get back to me.

Using the phpinfo script I can drag this about MySQL support

mysql
MySQL Support enabled
Active Persistent Links 0
Active Links 0
Client API version 5.0.51a

Directive Local Value Master Value
mysql.allow_persistent On On
mysql.connect_timeout 60 60
mysql.default_host no value no value
mysql.default_password no value no value
mysql.default_port no value no value
mysql.default_socket no value no value
mysql.default_user no value no value
mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited
mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited
mysql.trace_mode Off Off

However, with the database I have created where do I store it if I literally just have access to a directory?

Cheers

You can install PHPMyAdmin yourself, just download the latest build and upload it to your folder and set the configuration options.

Unless you have a MySQL server available you won't be able to run MySQL, regardless of whether PHP supports it. Try connecting to 'localhost' with the mysql_connect() function and see if it gives an error about either not being able to connect (in which case no MySQL server running), or wrong login (MySQL available, but you need the admin to add an account for you)
