PHP/MySQL Configuration

1. Download the zip file from the provided URL.

2. For use on localhost – Extract the content to the default local web server path, normally c:\inetpub\wwwroot. A new folder will be created there with the name of the evaluation pack. For example: jquerymaps_evaluation_php_mysql_us-wo_01.

3. For use on a live WEB SERVER – Uncompress the provided zip file  and upload all of the folders and files to a folder of your choice on your server.

4. On Eval Packs, if you want to connect to your own MySQL instead ours, or if you are installing a final project, you will also need to import the sample database into your MySQL:

A. Open your database management tool. For example, Navicat or phpMySQL

B. Create a new database with name of the folder that was created when you extracted the evaluation pack or project. For example: jqm_eval_php_mysql_uswo01.

C. Open this new database and select ‘Execute SQL File’  (or similar).

D. Select the file to import, which should be in the folder database/ and should have the extension .sql. Then click ‘Start’ button.

E. You may want the map to access this new database as an existing database user or create a new one. Anyway, make sure this user can access this new database.

F. Once the sample database has been imported, exit your database management tool.

G. Now you want to set the credentials for the map to access the new database. Edit the file jquerymaps/libs/jqmDB.php and set the host name, database, user and password to access the database you have just imported.

5.  Test everything is fine by opening the page index.html in your browser using the path created when you uncompressed the zip file. For example: http://localhost/jquerymaps_evaluation_php_mysql_us-wo_01/index.html.
