Okay so I already have a domain through no-ip.com, but I don't know how to set up anything on my comp to make it work.



I want to experiment with php and mySQL and unfortunately my free GaTech webpage conveniently doesn't support either. My goal is to mess around with phpnuke for future web jobs...



So can someone point me in the right direction or something?

 

Are you on Dsl or Cable?



Cable usually blocks port 80, I know comcast does here DSL you can usually get away with.



Prolly better off just to spend a couple bucks and get a cheap host, hell for $7.99 I have several nuke's you can install with the click of a button.

 

I can host it through my Georgia Tech IP.

 

i am doing the same thing with phpnuke. I cant figure out how to fill my database from the nuke.sql file hehe.

 

The phpnuke how-to is pretty useful. I'm sure it has the solution to your problems.

 

yea i havent read through it yet. If you need any realtime help with mysql/apache/php my aim is LiquidCyanide17

 

There's several methods for populating the db. Command line, via a text file, use phpmysql and use text file, zip or copy and paste into the text window.



I'd recommend installing phpmy sql, it makes life a bit easier when starting out.

 

Thnx phins ill have to get a hold of it. Heres my main hangup, i dont know how to access the mysql command line....

 

install phpmyadmin

 

i wasnt able to install phpmyadmin, couldnt figure out how. I'm normally rlly good with computers, ive been going to school for a few years in programming and have a few certs but i am having as much trouble with mysql as an old guy has trying to find **** on aol.
