Hi

Ive built a site that is going to connect to a Mysql database,the database is elsewhere with a diffrerent company,the thing is its my first time setting up something like this,ive downloaded thier latest MySql dump file but i have no clue what im supposed to do with it or where its supposed to go,as well as thier database i have my own 20mb MySql db as part of my hosting package,does this dump file go into my db? Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You need phpmyadmin:

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

A very handy tool! It can backup and restore databases...

Hi Sirkent

Im using a hosting company,dont have my own server,so i guess i will need to contact them and see if they will make phpMyAdmin available to me.
At the moment this type of thing is brand new to me,im struggling a little

No, you can install this on your forum yourself....

There's the zip file. Follow the instructions on the site under 'documentation'. It tells you everything you need to do... If you get stuck ask here!

Its not for a forum though,its for a ringtone site. Ive been told phpmyadmin can only be installed on the server if they will do that.

Sorry, I must be having a blonde moment...

You can install it on any webspace with php/mysql support.
