I remmember watching a good tutorial on youtube but cant find it anymore. it was about a guy that was using oscommerce on is site he was hosting for like 5 $ anyway. I wanted to learn how to run your own website. so got myself an account with free hosting ( my idea just to build something small, image displaying gallery and such , relating to food and culinary) so I got a domain name and free hosting, plus that free ftp program. I'm very lost now ,, what exactly does php do ? and how do I upload some software script? from what I've been seing I need mysql right so I download that or something? then upload that to my hosting server with ftp then use that to upload software script to my mysql datbase? I'm on the right track or complitely lost .? ..lol
Your very lost it seems, MySQL is for databases and you just need FTP (file transfer protocol). Get a free website template (don't pay for it!) and learn about websites on youtube or blogs or forums such as Digital Point. Good luck, PM me if you have problems with anything,
don't worry about the php orr something, seriously now everyhting is automated. try to use fantastico in your cpanel. alooooooot can be install there.
I started this road 7 years ago.. you have a lot to learn. Do you have a template for your website?
