how do i access my Mysql with justhost?

???? I just created one How do i access it to make changes to the folders???

I go to the justhost control panel and choose MySQL Databases I see the one I created and another one is in there but now what? I can't access any folder screen thing?

Here's the situation. I install zencart through the instructions of another website which was very easy. I just install and click though it.. Done, and now I'm halfway done creating my zencart online storefront.. NOW I read on here and on my justhost tutorial that I have to create a MYSQL Database first with Database name and password??? I never did that? I guess the zencart automatically created it for me..

/home/UserHello1/public_html/store/includes/configure.php configured
/home/UserHello1/public_html/store/admin/includes/configure.php configured
/home/UserHello1/public_html/store/data.sql configured

??? Now what? I never created a password for this and I never enter in the MYSQL info in Zencart? How do I access this info? The store infomation is in there when I check the DB info.

Do i just delete the current zencart storefront and start over?

And this tutorial is sooo HARD!! What is justhost doing for Newbies!!! How do I bring up that folder! and look at all the things I have to cut and paste and delete in there!!! HELP!!

The installer created the database for you. Unless you have a problem or need to do something really fancy, you'll never have to access the database directly.

Zencart has a learning curve, but it isn't really that difficult if you don't panic.

Read through the FAQ/Tutorials (link above), give things a try, and come back to the forum with specific questions.

Re: how do i access my Mysql with justhost?

ok I just install filezilla.. I thought that the filezilla screen was the SQL screen in the tutorial!!

But now I'm so confused :( I already got zencart installed and working on my site.. Do I still have to change things in the folders as mention in the "installing zencart" tutorial?

what is this?


On the server locate the file: /catalog/includes/dist-configure.php
Rename this file to configure.php and change the permissions to 777 (read-write-execute for all)

Next, on the server locate the file: /catalog/admin/includes/dist-configure.php
Rename this file to configure.php and change the permissions to 777 (read-write-execute for all)


Do I really have to do all this since I got zencart installed?
and when he say Rename this file.. Does he mean delete the whole name /catalog/includes/dist-configure.php and just put in configure.php Yikes!!

You need to calm down, take a deep breath, and maybe come mow my 10 acres while you do:P

Try to think of it this way. If you bought a new car and you immediately went to the gas station, had all the fluid levels checked, and filled the gas tank. Then, just before leaving to go home and show off your new ride, you find the owner's manual says it's best to start with a full tank of gas and monitor mileage for the first tank.

Would you empty the tank and fill it back up or head home to show off the car?

Not trying to beat your head against the wall. Just want you to go slow and you will learn an awful lot. Your cart is there so it's time to start customizing. Head to the Tutorials/FAQ and look at the customizing info.
