Re: Re: Mac OSX and MySQL

Oh, okay, you want to know how to use NetInfo. Do "man niutil" and read the man pages on niutil. Also very useful, in the following link is a brief description of how to use NetInfo Manager to do the same thing if you prefer GUI: http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html It tells you how to create a user. Erik PS: don't use System Preferences' "Users" to make dummy users for MySQL and other services. On Wednesday, December 5, 2001, at 10:04 AM, René Fournier wrote:

I have to create a MySQL for my PHP scripts. How do I do this in Mac OSX? There are a bunch of command line tools, but I'm not sure which one[s] to use.

Not sure I understand this question. What do you mean by "create a MySQL for my PHP?"

oops, I meant to write "create a MySQL user for my PHP scripts. In other words, when my scripts try to connect to the database, they need to supply a user id and password (and that must be certain id/pwd to correspond with the 'real' online server we're using). So I would like to know how to create this user/password under Mac OSX. (Thanks.)

Thanks. ...Rene
