Anti-Robot Installation Help

[GooseZor]

hey i'd like to get the anti-robot validation installed, but have run into some trouble. in the readme it says to upload the files to catalog/...

 

i tried uploading the files to the root of my webserver but could not find the anti-robot tool anywhere in my admin. what am i doing wrong? thanks in advance.

Did you upload the sql file? Did you enable it in admin?

i uploaded all the files in the catalog folder.

 

catalog/images/

catalog/includes/

catalog/template/

catalog/account_edit.php

catalog/create_account.php

 

where is the sql file and how do i enable it in admin?

 

thanks for the reply.

[Guest]

there is a sql file named anti robot registration, ending in sql for an extension with the contribution you need to install via phpmyadmin

[GooseZor]

okay i see the file...now a dumb question...how do i upload it to phpmyadmin? i do have access to it, just unsure on how to go about uploading and isntalling the file. thanks.

[Guest]

open phpmyadmin, select the database, click on sql and then browse for the file and then insert

[GooseZor]

okay i did that earlier and got an error so i wasn't sure if i was doing it right. here is what i get when i upload it:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Anti Robot Registration Validation 2.4

 

and as of right now i have the files uploaded to my server in the root directory still in the catalog folder.

when did u get that error? in phpmyadmin? if so, open the file, and then cut and paste hust the sql portion, (create table, insert, etc).

[GooseZor]

yeah it was in phpmyadmin under "SQL -> Run SQL Query".

 

as far as the next step with cutting/pasting the sql file using create table, insert...unfortunatley i've never done that before so i wouldn't know how to go about doing it. care to help out a noob? thanks again.

[Guest]

you need to make sure the sql file you are using that there is a # before Anti Robot (the very first line) in the sql file. then it iwll run

[GooseZor]

hmmm...i added the # to the first line before Anti Robot...still get the same error. :(

[Guest]

then erase that line, just start with the first line which says insert

[GooseZor]

different error this time..."#1146 - Table 'spree8_Goose.configuration_group' doesn't exist"

 

btw - thank you for the help.

[Guest]

configuration_group is a pretty important table, are you just getting started? and what else have you done to the site?

[GooseZor]

yep just getting started. just put postnuke on the site really. nothing much else.

[Guest]

even if u get this installed your store wont work cuz of ocnfiguration_group missing. either start the db over or you are going to have fun piecing it together

[GooseZor]

i have 2 db's right now. i'm only using 1, mainly containing all my nuke db's. should i create a configuration_group db? or how do i go about installing one?

[Guest]

this may be a dumb question:

 

Are you trying to install this on postnuke or osCommerce?

[GooseZor]

postnuke...is that bad?

[GooseZor]

bump

[Guest]

Well... a module written for oscommerce is more then likely not going to work in postnuke. Actually I gaurantee you its not going to work.
