Setting Up the SQL Database
Setting up Config.php
The Last Step

How to set up config.php

Open config.php in a text editor (e.g. Notepad or TextPad) and make sure the database name, the database username and the database password are correct. These are the SQL username and SQL password that your web host provides you with for your SQL database.



The $prefix and $user_prefix need to be exactly as you've used when setting up the SQL database. These can and should be left alone when using nukesql.php, and have to match the prefix in the nuke.sql file. If you've changed the prefix in nuke.sql from nuke to something else, you must change this prefix here.

The $dbtype is case sensitive, so you MUST type it exactly as it appears in the comment above the place where you enter the information. Also, you must make sure that this database type is correct. Most people will have a MySQL database as this is the most common database for web sites. If you are unsure, try MySQL, and if errors occur, check with your web host what database type you have
