Re: Database Access Error

[Harrison Fisk]

Hi,

ibdata1 isn't a database, it is the InnoDB table space, which is a different thing all together.

You should first create the database (or you can use a default database called 'test'), then tell phpbb to use that.

To create a database do the following:

shell> mysqladmin -u root create newdbname

Or you can download and use one of the GUI interfaces such as MySQL Administrator, which will allow you to create a database as well. You can get it at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/index.html
