Server Logistics Complete MySQL

create the .tcshrc file

[appleman58]

Hello,
I just installed the above mentioned MySQL and got it to run. When I tried to create the .tcshrc file to make it easier to log on to MySQL in the Terminal,because the file does not already exist. It wants me to Create one within my home directory? With my favorite text editor, which is BBEdit .

I feel these instructions are vague as to where and how exactly how to do that.

Also someone point me in the right direction to start creating databases, users, and passwords ect. as the 850 page manual looks somewhat time consuming to say the least.

Uhm, sorry for the late answer.

About the .tcshrc file and how to get to the shell / mysql [webmasterworld.com] - but i'd say you won't need to login to MySQL through your terminal because ...

>the right direction to start creating databases, users, and passwords ect.

... you could just download and install phpMyAdmin [phpmyadmin.net]. It's a matter of minutes or even just seconds - this tool allows you to fully manage your mysql server, create and edit users, databases etc.

I too am sorry for the late answer.
Now, to use bbedit, bbedit 7.* comes with a commandline tool.
My excuse is my computers have been to service all of January :(

So:
1) Start a terminal
2) type 'cd'
3) type 'bbedit .tcshrc'
and edit :)
