How to create MySQL database???? I can't find where I can turn it on!
For complete info on Mysql Download the Documentation file from
http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/refman-5.1-en.chm
You need to know PHP to access MySQl from webpages
To create a my sql database and access it :
1- Get a webhost who supports PHP and Mysql ( eg: www.orgfree.com ) ....skip this if u own a server with
PHP/Mysql.
2- Login to your Mysql databse with the username and password. This is very easy if the webhost uses phpmyadmin
3- Setup a table and create required fields in it.
4- Go through http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/1 for the required syntax and command to
access your databse
5- create the php page which will collect the required data from the forms and which will add it to the
database .
6- Create another php page which will show the data when required.
Sorry if i'm wrong
Thanx
do you mean how to set a mysql server up locally, or just work it out on a webhost?
its a big diffrent! an... google is the best way to find anything!
in phpbbmyadmin where where can i find seting up a table?
like i want a diff template. How do i do that?
please help me out so like how do i install my forum on my webspace so i can like put templates on and edit stuff ect.
First of all u need a webhosting which provides php and mysql support with atleast 1 database
(bizhat.com doesnt do this for new signups)
(orgfree.com does this with a very small ad on right of every page....goog site try it out
orgfree.com have their own autoinstaller ...but templates cannot be changed)
prereq: create a database.keep the databse name and username, password ready for the forum to be installed
1. download the php forum from phpbb.com
2. This is the default silver template forum
3. Extract the contents of the zip file into your harddisk
4.upload these files to any folder on your website (better use some ftp manager .... i use cuteftp)
5.now go to the folder on the server ( eg. if u installed all files onto /forum dir the type http://yoursite.com/forum
6. It will show a install screen
7 fill in all details including you database name databse username&password your username and password... your email etc....
8.Click install
9. It will ask u to download the cofig.php and upload back again to the forum dir
10. after you upload config.php then go to your forum as in step 5
11 it will ask u to delete 2 directories... do it
12 now your forum is ready
13 to change templates download from phpbb .com / styles menu
14 extarct and upload to the / templates dir in your site ( with the same name ...case sensitive)
15 then in the admin panel / styles admin click add
16 goto the profile and change the template to the one installed
check out my test forum.... iused BBTech template
http://kiransmile.orgfree.com/forum/
enjoy
would it still work if i used a different phpBB forum host but used the orgfree ftp?
do u mean to say that you use orgfree for just saving your files and the forum appears to load from another site ?Quote:

I to have wondered how Bizhat.com has their MySQL DB stuff setup.
Its a great feature I would like to have for my free hosting service.
If u use the autoinstaller from orgfree u can not use any other template other than subsilverQuote:
