creating a database

[willieb]

I have ftp all files for an oscommerce template to an existing website.

 

I need to create a database, mysql I presume, to make the store work.

 

How do I create a database? can it be done by adding a PHP script?

 

I am totally lost as how to create the database as I only have ftp acess to the website.

 

I would be grateful if anyone could help me in making the oscommerce php scripts, uploaded by ftp, to work

 

All the files are uploaded to http://www.perfectwedding.ie/store

 

Please help.

You should ask the people that sold you the template.

Most web hosting companies offer a control panel that assists the user in maintaining their web site. In the control panel, you should find some outlet to allow you to create a database and a username and password for that database. The database will be blank until you populate it (the osc installation will do this part for you).

 

Your web host may also offer a utility called phpmyadmin that will allow you to do anything you want with your databases such as backup, restore, etc.

 

Contact your web host for the exact details.

 

Hope this helped,
