I feel so stupid right now! I just loaded up Apache, mySql, and PHP on my home Windows XP machine to work on my website. It'll be running on a Linux server when I get it on the web.
I've been trying to check out this catalog program called PHP Catalog. Their website has a free version to check out. I can't even get it up and running. Their instructions say, "Create a new database and import admin/createdb_mysql with the following commands from the PHPCatalog/admin directory:
mysql database_name < createdb_mysql
where database_name is the name of the new database (which I'm calling testcatalog).
OK, so why can't I figure out where I'm supposed to type this command??? Do I use the mysql.exe monitor?? I tried to type
testcatalog < createdb_mysql
at the mysql prompt in the monitor and it wouldn't take. Is there a way to type this command into PHPMyAdmin?? I know the solution has to be soooo easy and I'm just drawing a total blank.
Type the command at the DOS prompt.
C:\> mysql testcatalog < createdb_mysql
You'll need to issue this command in the directory where the createdb_mysql file is located.
