This may sound silly to some, but I'm really confused as to how I can upload my link directory site to a database (after creating a database for it on my hosting acct)? Could someone please help me on this one with a step-by-step instruction?
Not sure I understand. You created the database through your hosting control panel and now you need to install a link directory script and connect it to that database? The link directory you are using should have provided you with step by step instructions on how to do that. Does it create all the tables and data itself via an install script? Or did it just provide you with an SQL file you had to import/upload yourself.
maybe you download a script ? usually, an installable script will include an install guide, where you can easily find the tutorial to install the software and database. example, installing a worpress in your webhost..
You use FTP to upload your sire (link directory script). You install the database. You edit the config.php, conn.php file with your database username, password and other details. It should then connect
