Configuration Problems, looking for Help

[kbmsg]

This is my first attempt to work with mysql in about 3 years. The instructions, while appearing simple enough, leave out details which would help those of us new to mysql and php.

What is one to do with Step 2 and after I copy the files to mysql server, I am unable ot open the index.php from a browser at localhost or from the net.

TIA everyone.

You need to run the SQL files located in the /db directory. You can run them with phpMyAdmin (if its installed on your server) or a similar MySQL management tool - your hosting provider likely preloaded your server with such a tool.

I was unable to get the index.php file to load either. In my case, it was caused by my php config not allowing short tags. abenzer pointed me to the php.ini file, where I was able to resolve the issue.

in /etc/php.ini, if "short_open_tag = Off," change it to "short_open_tag = On" then restart httpd.
