Installation Help - Newbie

Howdy yall; :)

 

I?m a complete newbie when it comes to PHP/MySQL, but I needed a PHP/MySQL shopping cart solution.

 

As of now I have ?PHPMyAdmin? installed and I?m really still unsure how I managed to get that working right. For temp, the server is on my IP which is behind a Linksys router, which the web server and all ports are being forwarded too.

 

Server Specs:

Win2k Server

Apache 1.3.27

PHP V4.2.3 ? C:/PHP - http://12.241.223.121/test.php

MySQL v4.0.4-b ? C:/mysql

ActivePerl v5.6.1 ? C:/perl

 

Dir Structure:

Document Root = D:/www/htdocs

 

catalog = D:/www/htdocs/catalog

admin = D:/www/htdocs/catalog/admin

 

Location: http://12.241.223.121/catalog/default.php

 

Right now I?m at the point where I should create a catalog in MySQL, and then do something with ?mysql_catalog.sql? Well I have NO idea what to do. I have tried the following, and nothing is added, or created. I was thinking maybe I can do this thru PHPMyAdmin, but I could not figure it out. :cry:

 

mysqladmin create catalog

mysql catalog < ./mysql_catalog.sql

 

I have searched thru the forums, and tried to figure this out as much as I can, but I?m at the point where I?m just so frustrated that I can?t function to even figure what?s the matter.

 

If you need snippets of anything please let me know. . Everything is temp as far as usernames/passwords and IP. So I?m not really worried about sharing info with you all, Just as long as I can get OSCommerce to work on my server.

 

Thank you for your help, suggestions and advice!

New as well however the command displayed is correct, but you might need to utilize the user and password flags.

 

ie:

mysql -u root -p catalog < thesqlfile.sql

 

When mysql defaults install the default username needs to be used and a blank paswword
