Adding modules w/ MySQL

[naturenu]

There are a few modules I would like to add to my site but I am not sure what this means or how to go about it:

'Run the following file on your MySQL database' or 'perform the **.sql'

- then it has the sql file that comes with the module files

 

Does anyone have information on getting started with this? TIA!

A search on this should have solved your problem...

but normaly you have access to phpmyadmin through your hosting control panel and can use this to insert the mysql to the database.

1) Go to your ISPs admin area for your site.

 

2) Click on the icon for Mysql, then find the link for phpmyadmin, it might be hidden away at the bottom but not on all admin sites. If you can’t find this, please consult your ISP's help desk.

 

3) In some cases, you may have to choose which database your OSC tables are located on. If this is the case, please choose using the dropdown box.

 

4) Click on "SQL" on the navigation bar.

 

5) Enter/paste your SQL in the textbox provided or, if you have a file containing the sql commands, click on Import and follow the on screen prompts.

 

6) For both methods click "Go"..

 

7) If all goes well, your SQL query will run successfully
