I am stuck on this portion of your setup Kayot:

Modify this with the IP of the computer that will be connecting to the server. Admin is the username.

INSERT INTO accounts VALUES (1, 'Admin', '', 0, 'mini', 250, , 0, 0, 0, 0, 'IP of Account')


I get a syntax error everytime I try to manipulate this value. I am unsure where exactly I need to place the IP address or at least what format it needs to be in. I thought I needed to replace the 0 ,0 ,0 , 0, but I get an error with that. I've tried a couple of different ways to enter this in and they have not worked. I'm also wondering if there needs to be a semi colon at the end of this command.

Where you put the IP address is staring you right in your face, if it was any clearer it would bite your head off. just replace the above with the IP of the computer you plan to play from or on.

Okay, then let me make myself clearier I've tried every variation that I could think of putting that line in the data table putting it in exactly like you say:
INSERT INTO accounts VALUES (1, 'Admin', '', 0, 'mini', 250, , 0, 0, 0, 0, '192.168.0.22')

I get:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 0, 0, 0, 0, 192.168.0.22)' at line 1 1064

Which is the same error I get every time I've entered this line into the query browser.

Don't forget the ; at the end of the command.

I apperciate you answering me about the ; but it still will not take the command even when I put in the semicolon

Try it this way....

INSERT INTO accounts VALUES (1, 'Admin', '', 0, 'mini', 250, , 0, 0, '192.168.0.22', 0, 0);

It seems you had a couple of entries out of sync.

Tell you lean how to move around better in MySql, I suggest you download and use "MySQL Query Browser" from the MySql site;
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
MySQL Query Browser will give you a "visual" on all this and you'll be able to see better what you are doing, right or wrong. Also, if you install this, take notice of the bottom right-hand corner where there is a great help and info on what to do

Also, this one helps a lot ; MySQL Administrator 1.2 for back ups, setting privs., etc

Worktruck, I got this same error. You may have already fixed this, but I'm going to put in what worked for me in case anyone else has this issue. To fix this error I used:

INSERT INTO account VALUES (1, 'Admin', '', 0, 'mini', 250, '', 0, 0, 0, 0, '192.168.0.22');

I needed account instead of accounts (my db was using this word). I needed to send an empty string in the seventh field (did I leave strict mode on?). I also put in a semicolon at the end of the command.

I hope this helps anyone out there that's stuck.

Those are Two Single quotes put together - for those that wonder what the " is. It looks like (dbl quote) '' or (two songle quote) " - similar but wrong.Mysql can use either for strings, but they must be two of each to encapsulate a string. Numeric variables can use 2 single quotes

Just FYI
