I am persevering with the long set of instructions to install Gallery 2 ... but am stuck again :-( and would appreciate some more help.

I'm stuck on the following step on: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_do_I_Install_Gallery2, under "Preparing to install", item 3 "Data", the instructions say:

MySQL Instructions
$ mysqladmin -uroot create gallery2
$ mysql gallery2 -uroot -e"GRANT ALL ON gallery2.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'"

I don't have the mysqladmin application (I do have SSH access but the command "mysqladmin" is not recognised). My ISP (aplus.net) does make a MySQL Database Manager available on the web-based control panel but this does not let me type in any commands - it just lets me create a database and a database user, which I have done:
database "gallery2database_stefan_site_aplus_net",
user "stefan705620"
(these names are generated by the tool & I can't change them).

Any ideas how I can complete this step without using "mysqladmin"?

Many thanks in advance.

System info:

PHP 5.2.9

Go to your host's control panel and add a MySQL database to your account. You don't need to type in any commands that way. You just need a database and the information needed to connect to it:

hostname
database name
username
password
