Datasheet

As you become more familiar with working with tables and MySQL commands, modifying privileges or
user information will become easier for you because the information is all stored in a table (just like
everything else in MySQL).
A complete list of privileges that you can grant is available at the MySQL Web site,
www.mysql.com.
Where to Go for Help and Other
Valuable Resources
Although we’ve certainly tried to make this as easy as possible for you, there are so many different
variables in computers and their setups that it is virtually impossible to cover every possible situation.
Anyone who works with computers on a regular basis is surely aware that, while in theory everything
seems relatively simple, things don’t always go as planned (or as you think they should). To your advan-
tage, there are several avenues for help should you find yourself in a difficult situation.
Help within the Programs
Before getting online and searching for help, you can try looking for answers to your problems within
the programs themselves.
In Apache, the manual was installed with the standard installation and can be accessed in
c:\program
files\apache group\apache2\manual
. A check of your error log will be most helpful as well.
In MySQL, you can enter this realm by typing the following at your DOS prompt:
c:\>c:\mysql\bin\mysql --help
This provides a multitude of commands that will help you find what you need, or at the very least, a
valuable “cheat sheet” for administering your MySQL server. In addition, this will allow you to see the
current settings for your server at a glance so you can potentially troubleshoot any problem spots.
The MySQL manual is also installed to your computer and can be found under
c:\mysql\docs\
manual.htm
.
Source Web Sites
You undoubtedly know where to find these by now, but just in case, the Web sites associated with each
of our three components have incredibly detailed information to help you work out any issues, or report
any bugs you may find in the programs:
❑ For Apache questions and information:
www.apache.org
❑ For PHP questions and information: www.php.net
❑ For MySQL questions and information: www.mysql.com
