5.2. How to install PHP-Nuke through PHPMyadmin
5.2.1. What Is PHPMyadmin
PHPMyAdmin is an visual system for the management of a MySQL database (see Figure 5-2). It is written in PHP and serves to display the contents of the databases on the server (or client) on which MySQL is installed. Through this interface you can create new databases, modify existing ones and modify the contents of single fields.
5.2.2. How to install the DB of PHP-Nuke with PHPMyadmin
Clicking on the left bar, depending on the database you selected, you will see a list menu coming up, showing the structure of the database (and, on the same time, the central page will show the enlarged structure of the database), with a series of options, all of them in the bottom of the page (see Figure 5-3). It is these options we are interested in when installing PHP-Nuke.
What you have to do now, is to click on "browse" and go search for the .sql file that contains the instructions that build the structure of the PHP-Nuke database (see Figure 5-4). Once found, it suffices to click on "Go" and the database will be installed. Of course, if there are errors, they will be reported at the end of the installation procedure. And of course, the same holds for the message "operation succeeded".
