Create PhpNuke MySQL Db with myphpadmin?

Anon

How do I create the mysql db for PhpNuke
using myphpadmin?

Very easy.

Create a new database named "nuke" by filling in the form that appears when you run phpMyAdmin.
Click on nuke when it shows up in the left rail index. That will take you to the page labeled "Database nuke."
Cut and paste the nuke.sql file into the textarea form, or use the "location of the textfile" selector to upload the nuke.sql file from your hard drive.

That's pretty much it.

Hello Me,

Here is a quick instruction:

Go to the sql directory of phpnuke and open nuke.sql in a text editor.
Highlight all the lines and copy them.
Open myphpadmin in your browser.
Create the database "phpnuke".
Click on the phpnuke database.
You should see an input text field:

Run SQL query/queries on database phpnuke [Documentation]:

Paste the copied text from the nuke.sql in this text field. Then press "Go". Myphpadmin should carry out the sql commands.

Note: There is also the option to read in a text file but it didn't work on my system.

You should now check the config.php file to make sure it matches your Db setup.

There you have it.

Hope I could help.

Hey steve,

Check out the times of our responses. As I was typing you had already answered.

To bad I type so slowly. I was also testing what I wrote.

I don't think Me could have gotten better service, ey?

Both responses are correct. However, since I've recently installed PHPNuke on a couple of different machines and used PHPMyAdmin to build the DB, I'd ammend the instructions to copy each SQL statement one at a time. On most of the machines I installed to, dumping the whole file into PHPMyAdmin resulted in SQL errors. The SQL statements start with a keyword like INSERT, CREATE, UPDATE, etc. and end with a semicolon (😉.

Wow, I didn't realize when I wrote MyPHPAdmin that there was another project called PHPMyAdmin, and it seems to have created a lot of confusion, you guys seems to be going back and forth on which one you are talking about.

I have never used PHPMyAdmin so I can't comment on which might be easier to use.
