I didn't think anyone was using the doc manager documentation and it was really out of date.
All of the latest documentation is available in the Readme.txt file included with the project and online by clicking on the "Home Page" link from the sourceforge.net project page or at http://www.phpgedview.net/

Thanks for the attention and I noticed you changed the links that caused my initial post. However, the readme files don't say anything about how to configure the mySQL either. I don't know how recently you read it (or even if you wrote it), but the only additional info the mySQL readme has over the regular readme is the db table layout. Again, there is no information where to enter the database name, the login id, the password. Everything in the readme's point to the configure.php, but it ain't there! Any suggestions?

There isn't a configure.php file!?! Do you have the most recent version 2.12?
Configure.php is an online configuration script that modifies the real configuration file, config.php. You can always edit config.php manually. There are lots of comments in it describing what each of the variables are for. The mysql variables are right at the top. But configure.php also sets up an administrative user, so I'd really reccommend finding it. It's possible that your host blocks all config* files from being served, as it does with some of the other users. I will probably change the name of the file in the next version, but I'm not sure what to call it. setup* is also probably blocked.
Anyway, after editing config.php, go to the file importgedcom.php. (Hopefully it is there.) It will ask for the location of your gedcom and begin importing it into the tables.
