having a problem with being able to create a database :(

[Jermanfu]

Hey all, I'm following the readme step by step, when I get to part 2, step 4 (about creating a database) I follow what it tells me to do. When I right click in the area on the left where you are to create a database, it gives me these options : Flush hosts, Flush logs, Flush tables, Flush threads. But no option to create a database. What gives? I downloaded version 3.23.54 from the link in the readme. I even checked and made sure I DLed the version for Windows. any ideas on why it doesn't let me create a database? Thanks in advance.

EDIT- sorry, I realized this might be a little vague, I am talking about the operation of Mysql. Thanks again

try doing it manually

so start mysql.exe then:
mysql> create database eq;
mysql> exit;

continue on with the readme

What instructions are you following? Baron changed the readme's with 0.4.1 so it referenced the right way of creating a database...

Are you installing an older version?

sorry, I was following the readme on the website. Maybe it's different then the readme that comes with 4.1? Not sure....in any event, i followed what Handymann said to do and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the info and the responses guys
