[Mifos-users] Help in creating mifos database and Mifos User

[Martin ALibu]

Hello
 
I am trying to install Mifos for the first time. I am having trouble in creating Mifos Database and Mifos User from dos command line.

 

• Log in to MySQL using root account. By default password will be mysql unless you changed it while installing MySQL.
  • To log in, type:

mysql -uroot -p 

• • Press enter and you'll be prompted for your password (this is the password you set defined for root while configuring MySQL).

I am using Windows 7. I am not able to get to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator

 

I am not able to get to mysql directory either.

 

Please help

 

Martin

Welcome to the wonderful world of Mifos!

That image was taken on a Windows XP by someone logged on as Administrator.

On Windows 7 that would be C:\Users\Administrator.

However Windows 7 has a better security model than XP and makes it difficult
to log on as Administrator...

You can issue the mysql command from anywhere - all you need is a command
prompt.

I can't go any further just now - my MySQL installation is on Linux, not
Windows.

I suspect that it is under the hidden directory C:\ProgramData.

The location is specified in the my.ini file.

Graeme
