phpMyAdmin is a popular web-based tool to administer a MySQL database. Many ISP's supply it as part of their offering. The following explains how to use phpMyAdmin to add the tables required by Gregarius. Use this if the table creation failed during the installation of Gregarius, and you are not comfortable with creating the tables using the command line.

1. Log on to phpMyAdmin using the username and password provided by your ISP.

2. Select "Databases", then select the name of the database in which you want the Gregarius tables to be included. (Quite often your ISP will provide you with a single database).

3. You should now see a list of existing tables (if any exist). Select the Import tab at the top of the page (SQL under older versions of phpMyAdmin).

4. Under the heading "File to Import" (at the bottom of the page in older versions) you should see an area entitled Location of the textfile, use the browse button and browse to the dbstruct.sql file location (this file is in the root of the Gregarius directory, copy it to a location on your local machine). Then hit Go, your tables should now have been created.
