I need to host a contacts database on my website.
I created it in MS Access and used an Access-to-MySQL program to convert it.
That conversion gives me four files, file types .frm, .myd, .myi and .opt.
I used FTP to upload those files to the root of my site.
Tech support says read this tidbit for instructions:
but that helps me not at all... it still wants me to point to a text file, which I do not have. Nor is the database I FTP'd to the site in the database list.
MySQLDatabases wants me to create a new database, creating each data field... that can't be right I don't think. I already have the local MySQL database and FTP'd the files to the root of my website.
MyPHPAdmin has an import function, but it asks me to point to a text file, not one of the four file types mentioned above.
I have spent hours wading through help and documentation files looking for instructions.
What is the proper method of posting an existing local MySQL database to my website?
