AXM Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 The database is in the server's mysql folder. You can access it from cpanel or whatever hosting utility your server setup for you. I ♥ PHP/MYSQL/CSS
Guest Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 It's a mysql database store either locally on the server or on another server. You should contact your provider to ask them to create a database for you so you can install osCommmerce. or, if you have cpanel or phpMyAdmin you can create it yourself They will provide you with username password path to the database and of course a database name If you need some help just pm me.

interweb Posted January 18, 2005 Author Posted January 18, 2005 Are you talking about the SQL database on your host server? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am trying to save my database off of my hard drive into the Oscommerce database. I don't know if that would be the SQL database on my host server. Does that help? Lora Grogan
Guest Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 you can use phpmyadmin to import the database, you need to ask your host how to access phpmyadmin (usually via a cpanel)

I don't know if that would be the SQL database on my host server. Does that help? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are 2 main ways of making a backup for your osCommerce database: 1. Use Admin | Tools | Database Backup Manager You'll need to create catalog/admin/backups for this feature to work. (the name of the directory doesn't have to be backups, you can change it in Admin's configure.php file) 2. Use a Database Management utility. phpMyAdmin is free and very popular, most mySQL hosts have this installed ready for you to use. You can use the Export feature to export a database table, a database or even all databases in the server.
