Some of you may have heard of the new open source video editor being developed called Positron. Since it is constantly being updated and worked on by numerous people, it requires you install and set up MySQL just to launch it.
This involves editing the Positron.cfg file login info that reads like this by default:
server: localhost
username: root
password: heyjude
rootdir: e:\server
The Positron forum had a bit of chat about it and one member said you need to enter your MYSQL username and password, then change the root directory:
"Installation requires that you install MySQL, and create a username and password that has permissions to create schemas (databases). At that point, enter that information into positron.cfg (and don't forget to change the server path from e:\server to some location on your hd)."
I don't seem to recall MySQL having asked for a username, just email address & password, then a root password at the end. Also, he is not explaining what he means by "some location on your hd", is it the Positron exe directory, or that of MySQL?
If anyone knows about MySQL can you tell me if there's a way to find your login info in it's files or change it?
