Need Help Installing Script

[OnlineAutorama]

I downloaded a links script for automotive website thats allow different drivers to post links rellated as per the type of vehicle they own but,...

The instructions tell me this:

 

1. Edit password.php to denote your correct MySQL Information

2. Query mylinks.sql located in /sql folder inside your database

3. You can log into admin panel with /mylinks/admin/admin

 

So,... I'm like really really new to doing such tasks and i've searched the forums, all 17 pages but not one was related to how this process is done.

 

It sounds like i need to make my database first which i believe i know how to do but i've never had to install a script by running a Query before.

 

It looks like a very simple easy to use script but so far i'm stumped as far as how you do this step inside the cPanel.

 

Could someone give me the run by answer on how this is done. A Step-byStep would be even better meaning, Where do i go inside of cPanel and then what do i do from there.

 

Is this something i run from my PC or once it's uploaded on to the server?

 

Any Help would be Greatful

 

Thank You.

For information on creating a database watch the Create a MySQL database tutorial.

 

Once you create the database, database user and add the database user to the database you will edit the config file with information to access the file.

 

Database will be cpanelname_dbname-you-create

User will be cpanelname_user-you-create

Password will be password-you-give-user-you-created

Host will be localhost

 

Once you have your config information in you will use phpAdmin to run the query to build the tables. This movie tutorial will show you how.

I followed the tutorial as suggested and when i click on the SQL tab as shown in the video,... There is no browse button to click on to point to the .sql file.

That tutorial is not very accurate. Everything looks totally different. I can't see where this is helpful.

 

So again,... I'd like to Query an .SQL file. Can someone tell me how this is done again please.

 

Bruce thank you for trying.

In phpAdmin select your database. Then select Import. Use the browse button to select your .sql file to import.

Yep,... The Import Tab Worked.

That video is incorrect so if someone is new such as i am someone might find it confusing if given that advice to follow an incorrect tutorial video.

Just my thought.

 

Thank you for coming thru with the info you provided in the P.M.

That was much easier to follow and several minutes faster too, Visit phpmyadmin, click database, click import, browse to file, click ok.

 

Thanks again.

Glad to help and glad you got it working.

 

About the tutorials. They were for the previous release of cPanel so yes, some things have changed.
