How do I create the proper DB in mysql for coppermine?  I'm using phpMyAdmin, and tried create a empty DB w/ no tables.  When I run install.php, i get something like 'sql error: query empty'.

running,

XP,apache2,php 4.3, and mysql 4.1

Thanks

A link would be nice, but we can start down the check off list.

1. Can you verify that PHPMyAdmin is functioning properly?

2. Can you verify that the permissions on the /sql folder are correct?

i'm not really sure how to verify that phpmyadmin is fucntioning properly.  But I know that when I try to create a new DB, the DB name shows up in the mysql/data folder.  

Also all I did with the folder permissions was uncheck the "read-only" option in the windows properties section for my albums, include, and sql folders.

Sorry, I'm really new to this...

XP and Apache don't really have a permissions system, so this is unlikely to be the core problem.

This might be related to your use of MySQL 4.1.   PHP 4.3's default MySQL extension is designed for older versions of MySQL.  You may need to activate the MySQLi extension in PHP.

For more info, go the source itself:

www.php.net

Click on the "Manual" link, and then scroll down to find the info on the MySQL and MySQLi extensions.
