its says to 'Last dump Memosystem.sql in to your database' and i have no idea how to do that. I searched google and found slight references to adding a .sql file to a databace in phpmyadmin , but i have cpanel and in my Mysql settings couldnt find anything that looked like it would let me do it.

Help please?

from the directory where you have downloaded the sql file, login to the mysql server using
> mysql -u yourusername -p
> enter your password
mysql> use geeklogdatabasename;
mysql> source filename.sql;

that normally works (cant remember if i used the semicolon)... your install may have a different syntax - type help at the mysql prompt to find out how to run sql from a file.

good luck

ajay

how do i get to this prompt? like its not on my computer its on a remote server. i'll try SSH first then get back to you.

By any chance you have access to a wonderful tool like phpMyAdmin. There are two options for dumping sql into a db.
First: a window where you can paste the content of sql file
Second: you can load it from file, sql file.

If you "have no idea how to do that" get familiar with some GUI tools to mysql.
