thanks a ton, y’all… i think i got it figured.

i was following directions intended for someone who hadn’t already set up a database. of course i had, and all the usernames and password i needed were right there staring me in the face!

i’ll let you know…

well, that answers that. thanks Vkaryl.

so, back to the drawing board… i did check with my server and he says i can’t create a new database : i only have the one. but that i can create new folders inside it… does that sound right? that doesn’t seem to fit with any of the install directions i’m reading on Codex.

he did say that they (Omnis) are current and set up (i checked and all the PHP and MySQL versions are up to date) to work with WB, so i’m apparently really missing something here.

no. apparently, i access MySQL through phpMyAdmin… it seems this is a logical alternative, as the instructions on Codex refer to creating a new database with both cPanel and phpMyAdmin.

but, no… i don’t see a cPanel (or plesk, vdesk, ensim) on my account management page for Omnis (my host server).

might the privilege to add a database be something my particular account isn’t eligible for?

or, is this something that anyone should be allowed to do on their host server?

…by the way, i’ve just discovered the detailed instructions on Codex, so here goes…
