Where is the Database Created?

  • Just following the MAMP instructions for Mac installation.

    OK, I’ve opened the “start page” in the MAMP window. I then selected phpMyAdmin from the webpage. Now under “Create new database”, I entered in the database name of: “wordpress”, and pressed the “Create” button.

    Q) My question is where on my mac computer does it create this new database?

    BTW, is it ok for a newbie to install WordPress 2.8? I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about it. What should I install 2.7.1 or 2.8?

    Thanks

    My hosting service allows you to log in and create a database and install PHP. It is pretty automated but I still have a few questions. Here’s what it says.

    “Select or create a directory in which phpMyAdmin will be installed and click “Next >>”.
    Please select or create a directory within the /public/ or /secure/ folders.
    phpMyAdmin cannot be installed directly to the /public/ or /secure/ folders.”

    phpMyAdmin will be installed in the following directory: /public/___________

    Question #1
    On my hosts server I see a list of all of my website folders like below. Which folder/directory do I use to install the PHP into?

    /public
    /public/IMAGES
    /public/PAGES
    /public/web
    /secure

    Question #2
    And do I use “wordpress” at the end so it looks like below?

    /public/wordpress
