MySQL Questions for WDMYCLOUDEX4

Is MySQL by default running on my EX4? If so, how can I verify?

Thanks!!!

Well, no one commented so - I’ll add what I figured out.

 First, to documentation for WDMYCLOUDEX4 is terrible.

I wanted to install MySQL on the NAS but couldn’t figure out if it was there or not. I seen where I could install myPHPAdmin but it didn’t have any settings for MySQL. Naturally, I figured I would have to install MySQL. After googling a while - I found a blurb that said MySQL was standard install from the factory. I did not see this info ANYWHERE in any document.

Took me a while to figure out how to log into myPhpAdmin - since no where does it tell you that the username and password are admin/admin - go figure.

Sure enough MySQL is installed. 

Next question was how to reach via command line. 

Took more digging to figure out that I needed putty. So, I loaded Putty up and puttied to the box. However, again more user name password issues. Seems the putty user id is SSHD - and again that’s not in any documentation.

My next quest is to figure out if it’s possible to upgrade from mysql 5.1 to 5.5

-sigh-
