Do you have a webhost and don't know if it has mysql? Or are you trying to host your own site and trying to install mysql? Self-hosting is highly discouraged.

Also, we provide support for Coppermine here. There are other places that provide support for server/mysql setup.

Does Lycos offer mysql support? If yes, you need to ask them for details. Different hosts do things differently.

If no, you need to find another webhost.

I went on the lycos help and support i got this: Tripod provides a complete database management interface within its PHP4U service.

You will need to ask your webhost how to get it. Some give you the info, others have you create it yourself. We don't know how lycos works. You can search the board to see if anyone posted a solution. If not, it would be great if you could find out and post it so others know how to get the info if they're using lycos.

I get this error on coppermine installation: Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered

MySQL error was : Access denied for user: 'anastaciaisgreat_es@wmphpf10.st2.lyceu.net' (Using password: NO)

What it Mean????????

I'm guessing that you didn't enter a password and it's expecting a password.

All i can find is this: How do I manage my MySQL Database?
Answer:  
Tripod provides a complete database management interface within its PHP4U service. Just click on the Manage your database link on the PHP4U general panel to open this interface. If you want more information about how to use it, please refer to the Lycos Webmaster dedicated workshop.

I dono where the Manage your database link is and the PHP4U general panel to open this interface, will that be on lycos??????

As suggested various times: we don't know about Lycos. Ask Lycos, or google for it. We can't help you with that. Not because we don't want to, but because we can't.
