[Xastir] Xastir => Mysql

[Mike]

Hi All,

I am knee deep in trying to get data collected from Xastir to MySQL. I 
have MySQL 5.1.37 and PHP 5.2.10 installed with Xastir 1.9.7.  I have 
followed the MySQL Persistence directions 
[http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/Persistence] closely with the 
execption of using the included sql dump (db_gis_postgis.sql) which has 
a lot of syntax errors no matter  which SQL compatibility mode I use. So 
I  built the databases and tables manually using the SQL dump as a road 
map. With that said, I can only say that I am 90% sure I did them all 
correctly. What I havn't done so far is (and I quote): "Run xastir and 
add a SQL Database interface, start with the MySQL defaults, add the 
username and password of the xastir user." This I am not too sure what 
Im being told to do here. I am a newbe to PHP and MySQL ive only used 
them for some small web related stuff as a user and never on a dev end 
of it, but I have my nose deep into PHP & MySQL for Dummies and I am 
slowly learning.

If anyone can help, I would deeply appreciate it.

Mike, W2SWR

P.S. if it helps, I use phpMyAdmin to drive MySQL
