I just downloaded the free version of phpld. I'll put up a directory site but got stuck in the installation procedure. Do I need to create first a mysql username and database name before I install phplinkdirectory script? thanks for the advice.
Please pay attention to the Readme file included in the script. Regarding your query the answer is Yes. For more support visit their support forums.
I read the installation text file (not read me file) doesn't say we have to set up a mysql database before installation can proceed. It should have been indicated there, but it's not.
Any PHP Information based script cannot work without the help of MySql is mandatory for it... You can also check Config.php for more details about MySql details
