MySQL Database Creation error

[ShadowLost]

I'm getting a very frustrating result from MySQL. When I right-click on my hostname to create a new database in the Databases tab, in the Databases window all I get are these option on the menu that pops up:

Flush Hosts
Flush Logs
Flush Tables
Flush Threads

If anyone can tell me how to create a database please tell me....please.

I'm having a similar problem.. could you share with us what you did that got through it?

I just went into the MySQL database folder (...the one that says data in the base MySQL directory...) and just create a folder named whatever you want, in the case of EQEmu name it "eq".

That is it. Your magical database is created, with no sweat. Then you just go through the rest of the readme (...how I did it...) and follow the instructions.

Everything is working now.

the otherway (and probally easier if you know it, because you dont need to know where you have to make the db folder) is to get to the promt (cmd for xp and command for 9x) then goto the mysql/bin and type mysqladmin create eq <enter> and poof it takes about 15 seconds, and your eq db is ready for sourcing stuff too :)

Here is a nifty screen shot of it...

You may not see all the crap that I have, because I like to play with mysql alot.
