The real "feel like a newb" Topic

K, that little glitch in the DB didn't make me feel any better. here's what i tried to post

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I consider myself fairly well informed. I was able to install, configure, and make a number of modifications to my Oscommerce store, as well as a number of other open source programs. I was starting to feel like i knew what i was doing.

 

Then i tried to install OSC Affiliates and saw this

 

Insert the new tables found in the affiliate.sql file into your osCommerce catalog database.

 

Yeah.... i dont know what that means. Feel like a total loser.

 

can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi May be able to

 

in myphpadmin , or similar sql admin programme, go to the database that your are using,,,

-- view-- click on the table that your wanting to import click on it..them go to import ,, check the sql radio button and import/go it shoud overwrite that table or you can just go to the database name and import it into the whole database if the tables have not been created -- the file should have inside 'drop if xyz exists' create xyz' look inside the file with notepad

 

hope this helps

 

 

cheers

I think the reason i'm confused may be because i'm using Godaddy hosting. I've never seen something that resembles what your talking about.

 

Fortunatly i get 24/7 support from them, maybe this is one time i should contact my host.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though. I should be able to find it now.
