WEll for some reason or another i got offered a one off job adding a cart to a already functioning website. I thought o yeah piece of cake. Omfg how i was wrong. Ok so i am going to use cubecart. But i have no clue on mysql. I have never ever used it before.

So 1. Do i have to install mysql on my website or is it done on the hosting server.

2. How do i create a database etc to store cubecart thingies.

3. ANy help? :p i honestly have no clue. i just got ftp access the other day which took forever to get. Because i needed to upload cubecart files and now this. Grrr

1. MySQL is most likely installed by the host, I don't think it's possible to install MySQL on a host when it's not installed
2. Normally, when you got a host with MySQL installed on, the host will probably have phpMyAdmin, which makes working with MySQL easy, with that you can easily create a new database, new tables, new rows, you can easily update them or delete them, and you can run .sql files which makes the database structure for you.
3. If you need any more help, contact me via PM, MSN (I'll pm you my msn if u ask for it), or just post here, so other people can get a solution too.

O well in the end :p they are running plone and they are being bitches about mysql. And even me installing any cart on there (they dont want to lose business)

But thanks for your help man. I totally forgot about this thread. In the end i couldnt do it because they run apparently plone and mysql dont like each other so ….
