MySQL Database and Site Script Installation Help Needed

    I've just purchased an auto classifieds script and can't work out how to install it correctly. I've followed the script creators guide with no success.

    So far I've uploaded the script files to the server, I can't get any further than this. The script guide tells me to do the following:

    1. For this you can go to you administration panel ie. the cpanel.

    2. In cpanel click on the icon "MySQL" databases. This will take you to your phpMyadmin.

    3. In phpMyadmin you should click on your database name and then in the right hand side panel click on the "SQL" Tab.

    4. On this screen you will see a browse button. Click on it and point to the .sql file located in the "db" directory of the script we sent to you. If you want to setup the db with minimal data then use the Softbiz_Auto_Classifieds_empty.sql file. Otherwise use Softbiz_Auto_Classifieds_with_dummy_data.sql file

    5. Once you execute this file, it will setup the database for you.


    I've gone into phpMyadmin and clicked on the SQL tab but I cannot see any browse button as described in step 4. I've contacted the script creator but don't know how long it takes them to reply. Should I contact my server host or can you guys here shed some light?

    Thanks.

    Ok, I've done that and the help file tells me 'Once you install the script, admin panel can be accessed <site_root>/admin/index.php>'. I've changed site root with my website address but get this message:

    'Unable to establish connection with the server'.

    I'm clueless.
