The problem is that I was getting an error message. I am not at home right now, and should have posted the message last night. However, my main question is trying to know based on what the instruction says:
Using mysql - connect as your root or other privileged user connect to your geeklog database Using "source" read in and execute the SQL file o mysql# source stations.sql; How do I type the above at the mysql prompt? Do I need to reference the directory where the stations.sql is residing? the file stations.sql resides in E:\Apache\apache2\htdocs\public_html\weather\ Do I need to point to this directory in order to execute the query or how does mysql know where to find the file. If I have to point to it, do I then just type at the mysql prompt mysql>source d:/apache/apache2/htdocs/public_html/weather/stations.sql; Please advice once again....
