    Sorry to bother, but I didn't see (how to install a database script) question in the forum. I just got an arcade script, could anyone please point me out to a tutorial link on how to get a database script running, I got cpanel and I have a rough idea on how it works.
    thanks for your time.

    if there is a sql file:
    go to MySQL Databases.
    create a user.
    create a database.
    add user to darabase.

    click on phpMyAdmin.
    go to that database that you created.
    click on import.
    upload the sql flile.
    change the username and pasword to the one you made in the config file.

    if it has an install file,do the above except for import and run the install file.

    btw,you posted this in the wrong forum.:rolleyes:

    Sorry that I posted in the wrong forum, but I'm still not clear :(

    I already did a database and imported the sql file into phpmyadmin, but I don't know whats next.
    In the manual they just said to edit the cfg.php which I did but I'm not sure if I got it correct:

    // Config vars - absolutely needed before anything really happens.

    ///////////////////////////////////

    // The local path on your server of ArcadeBuilder, INCLUDING THE TRAILING SLASH.
    // This should be something like /home/yourdir/public_html/ or C:/Domains/YourDomain.com/
    $cfg['instdir'] = '/home/public_html/ArcadeBuilder/';

    // The Internet URL of ArcadeBuilder, INCLUDING THE TRAILING SLASH.
    // This should be something like http://www.example.com/
    $cfg['baseurl'] = 'http://shirtprinting4u.com/ArcadeBuilder/';

    // Your MySQL database information information
    $cfg['sqluser'] = 'leolg_atix';
    $cfg['sqlpass'] = '*******';
    $cfg['sqldb'] = 'leolg_arcade';
    $cfg['sqlhost'] = 'localhost';


    thats the directory I installed it into but its just a blank page:
    http://shirtprinting4u.com/ArcadeBuilder/index.php
