I assume SQL = MySQL?

When you made the changes, did you reload mysql?

What are you using to 'manage' your MySQL databases now? If nothing, then I (and everyone else) would suggest you use PHPMyAdmin...

If you don't know about this script, download the files and we can discuss how to use it later on.

Download PHPMYADMIN.

Use what works - that's the important thing. I only have experience with phpmyadmin PLUS it's available on nearly every web host I have been with before.

Setting up phpmyadmin is not hard... it just looks like it is! Let me know what you decide.

Anywhere...

Yes, you can save all the phpmyadmin files anywhere on your PC, as long as you tell Apache where!

Let's say you saved the files to your HDD at:

Code:

F:\misc\dbadmin\

Open httpd.conf (Apache file) and look for:

Code:

<IfModule mod_alias.c>

add this below:

Code:

Alias /dbadmin/ "F:/misc/dbadmin/"
  <Directory "F:/misc/dbadmin">
    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

save the file (httpd.conf) and start Apache, now use your browser and go to the following URL:

Code:

http://localhost/dbadmin/Documentation.html

You have to also edit the config.inc.php file that is included in the phpmyadmin folder.

Let us know if you still have problems.

re: car body kits
No, I have no information at the moment...
