mySQL

[jakari]

Ok,

So here I am trying to setup a server for a friend of mine, and when I install mySQL and goto right click on the database area to make a new database "EQ" it doesn't give me the option of doing it.... What gives?

I suspect they either changed it, or some of us just got unlucky.. I had the same problem, but its easily bypassed:

Drop down to a command prompt (Good ol pseudo-dos).

Change to the directory you installed mysql in, by default:
c:
cd \mysql\bin

Run mysql.exe:
mysql

Type the folliwng in mysql:
create database eq;

Then:
exit

Then continue with the install.
