I apologise for my questions but I am coming to XAMPP and phpBB from a zero knowledge base, although I have been a Mac user for many years.
Question 1. XAMPP appears to include MySQL. How do I create and name a new MySQL database?
Question 2. There is a warning that XAMPP as installed is not secure and that this command </Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp security> should be entered. How? I assume via Terminal, bur I have little or no experience of working with Terminal
Question 3. How do I rename "The MySQL administrator (root)" and create a password?
Question 4. Am I also correct in assuming that the "Start & Stop" parameters are also Terminal commands.
As I said, please excuse such base ignorance, but we all have to start somewhere.
Many thanks
