Need some help with setting up an SQL database +Rep for anyone that helps.

I downloaded a script that lets people search for pages on my site but I've never worked with an SQL database and need some help in what to do.

The script is sphider.eu

and the install guide says this but I understand none of it.

can anyone give me an idoits guide step by step on how to install it the SQL is hosted on PHPMyAdmin.

Cheers, Chris

 

Yea.. I can help you.. Just go into your database manager if cpanel? Or in phpmyadmin, if you do not have cpanel? Than make a database and call it what ever you want.. and make a user with permissions to use that database. Than open the file "database.php" and enter there in the file your database name, user name and password, and any other info in that file needed. Like the URL or path to script!

Once those two things are done, open up install.php in your browser like,

domainname/admin/install.php

That should build the data structure for the script and your script should work after that!

Let me know if need more help!

^^ sounds about right. It's difficult to explain without knowing exactly what your setup is; do you have cpanel, do you have phpmyadmin .etc if the above doesn't make sense then reply with some details about your site's control panel .etc..

 

Still having problem does anyone have MSN that's willing to give me a hand?

Please PM me, Chris

 

Is your phpadmin and webiste accessible thru the internet or is it somethign local to you?
