I'm following some Android tutorials to make a Google Map app that can be used on a phone and on the web and it involves some PHP and MySQL work that I'm very new to.

I'm using Bitvise SSH Client to connect to my university server and then part of the task is to create a MySQL database with a table in it that can be updated with map coordinates from a user using the web app.

I can edit and view the table and database using the Terminal Console in Bitvise but my question is where on Earth is this database and table stored? When I log into my personal folder on the server, there's nothing there except for the PHP files I've created. I expected to see a /mysql file or similar.

Similar questions have been answered: look in /var/lib/mysql but I don't have such a folder.

  • Which server you use ? – Sulthan Allaudeen May 24 '15 at 18:09
  • MySQL can be configured to save it's actual data files in different places. To get a definitive answer, you'd have to check the MySQL server config on the actual MySQL server, and if it's a uni server you probably don't have permissions to. But other question - why do you want to do this? Generally when using DB servers you shouldn't have to care about detail like this. – James May 24 '15 at 19:59
  • Can you post the tutorial page in the comments if it is online? – Eugene H May 24 '15 at 20:04
