%$@#. Now mySQL Admin is showing not only no databases, but no server either...

It has no server info or anything.

I reinstalled mySQL and XOOPS AND IT WORKS!!!

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Thank ye'all for your help.

cool, congrats!

I'm now having this same problem except I can't just re-install MySQL and XOOPS because I was half way through setting everything up.

If I go to the MySQL shell and type 'show databases;' all I get is Test too. However, in the MySQL\Data folder, the database I made is there with all the XOOPS data in it.

If I try to access the site I get the 'Error - cannot connect to database specified in d:\....\...\databasefacotry.php. I know that ll the details (passwrod etc) must be correct because it enabled me to set up XOOPS and get all that way with setting it up.

This has happended incidentally after someone logged the server off. I had not anticipated that other than typing 'mysql-nt --install' after setting up MySQL to ensure it was started after a reboot!

Any ideas.
