Installation problem

I am new to PHP and SQL, running WAMP on a local server (Apache 2.2.21, PHP 5.3.8, SQL 5.5.16), webauction 0.3.10

Following the installation instructions, when I get to the step to do the SQL command: <?PHP include ‘install/install.sql’?> when I put that in on the SQL tab in PHPmyadmin, I get the error “#1064 you have an error in your SQL syntax…”

I thought I followed all the steps, but I may have missed something. Any help figuring out where I’m going wrong would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
JB

Hi Jim,

Welcome to the world of PHP, SQL, and Xataface!

Which installation instructions are you following? If your questions are specific to the Web Auction application, then it would be better to post them in the Web Auction Discussion board.

If you are looking for the general Xataface installation instructions, this page should be helpful:

Good luck!

Okay, I’ll go to the web auction forum and ask there. I am using the browser-based installation for that version of Web Auction that comes with the zip file ,is thatan answer to your question?

Thanks,
JB

when I get to the step to do the SQL command: <?PHP include ‘install/install.sql’?>

Thats because you are trying to put a ‘PHP command’ into a SQL statement. IF you can look at the “install.sql” that data/statement is what you would cut/paste into your SQL window for execution.
