[phpesp-general] setting up database

[jonathan h. <jon...@ya...>]

Greetings,
 
I'm a little new at this and can't seem to figure how to get the phpesp database set up. I use a webhosting service that supports all necessary stuff. I even set up the Moodle (open source course management) all by my self with no problems or help. So I'm not sure why this is so difficult.
 
Basically, I don't know how or where to run the scripts to set up and population the database.
 
Also, there is no 'perl' folder in my cig-bin. Can I just create one there.
 
Could anyone please give me the super-stupid layman step by step to getting phpESP up and running? The program is already on the webhost server www.mysite.com/phpesp.
 
Furthermore, if your help will include me running those scripts, then do the extensions need to be changed? There are txt files. What new extensions do I give them. Where do I put them in the directory structure before i run them?
 
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Jonathan
