First Installation

Hello Everyone,

 

Please be gentle with me here. Until 3 weeks ago I knew nothing of php mysql etc so please keep answers in simple terms.

 

I am attempting to build an online store selling mp3 downloads for independent artists.

 

I have already built the website and I use a programme call Sam Broadcaster to stream sample music to the site. This programme installs a database in mysql for its own purposes.

 

I am now attempting to install the osCommerce facility to enable customers to download and I have gone through the initial stages of set up and got to the screen which reads finished, The installation and configuration was successful!

 

However there seems to be only two places I can go from here, Catalog or Administration tool. Both of these links produce the error

 

1146 - Table 'samdb.configuration' doesn't exist

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

Can anyone explain what this means. Do I need to create a new table in the database. If so is it likely that it will "mess up" the performance of Sam Broadcaster. And if so How do I create a new table in the database. (As I said I'm totally new to this)

 

Would I be better to create a completly new database and then attempt to inport the nessessay info from Sam database to the new one. If so How?

Something did not work on the installation of the database.

You can try it again, or you can upload the database to your phpmyadmin direct (you do this via your web hosting cpanel)

Also check

catalog / includes / configure.php

admin / includes / configure have your wen site details in there, i suspect they have as it knows where to go for the database
