Server:seattlestars.nuclearfallout.net:27015
Game:Cs 1.6
Problem:I had forums installed with a cutom theme, and two mods. But the forums where a little bit buggy, so I decided to make a back up of all the info and re-install the forums all over again. Now when I go into the ftp it wont let me delete the forum folder, so i go into the folder, and start deleted the files, but there are 2 folders in there it wouldnt let me delete, so i got frustrated. I went back to the /root and renamed the forum folder to delete. Than I went into my Nuclear fallout control panel and clicked the web site tab, and filled out the info to create new forums. It than said
"You already have tables in your database from an automatic install of phpBB. You will need to delete those to continue." I do not know how to delete them. I read this and don't F*ing understand it
"Your MySQL account can be accessed from your webspace using the hostname of (edited out), database name of (edited out), username of (edited out), and your current password. It is version 4.0.x."

Also I know what the
"Your MySQL account can be accessed from your webspace using the hostname of ******, database name of *****, username of *****, and your current password. It is version 4.0.x."

it means: "That info is what you generally use to install MySQL based applications like forums or content management systems (phpBB, phpNuke). "

What i dont understand it how to access it.

go to http://www.phpmyadmin.net and you can install their free mysql administration tool on your webspace to physically access the tables and edit them.

we dont support phpmyadmin, but its the best mysql administration tool out there.

you download one of their releases, usually one of their latests ones and follow the documentation in the download. They have excellent instructions on how to install it. Its also available on the site under "Docs"

Make sure to use the absolute latest (stable) version. Many security holes have been discovered and plugged recently in phpmyadmin.

All i need is for somebody to delete the tables created by the automatic forum installation. Thats all

you can clear your SQL database from the option on the website tab in your control panel

Yea, i know that. But I dont want to delete all my tables, i just want the ones created by the forums deleted...

If you have difficulty with phpmyadmin, we can delete the tables for you. You'd need to email us about that.

Thank you, May i ask another favor. Please help me understand this

"Your MySQL account can be accessed from your webspace using the hostname of (edited out), database name of (edited out), username of (edited out), and your current password. It is version 4.0.x."

Is that to get into a ftp server? if it is could you like highlight to me what the Host address is, login, and password are.

If its not could you please explain more, i mean alot more. I asked for a better explaination before and this is what i got

"That info is what you generally use to install MySQL based applications like forums or content management systems (phpBB, phpNuke). "

That just inst enough info. I need someone to explain how to get access to the ftp or what ever.

Thanks again for your help, i know im a pain in the but

The line that you pasted with the (edited out) stuff is information that you usually plug in to a configuration file when installing MySQL based applications (phpBB, phpNuke..) it is not your FTP info. The FTP info is in the paragraph before that one:
Your webspace is currently set up to be at something.nuclearfallout.net. Your webspace username is something. You can access the FTP for your webspace at ftp://something@something.nuclearfallout.net, using your current password.
So, using your favorite FTP program, its something like this:
hostname = subdomain.nuclearfallout.net (whatever your chosen subdomain is)
username = identifier (your server's identifier; also listed on the description tab in control panel)
password = whatever (you must have set this at one point; if not, you can always re-set it)

As we were saying before, the only way to access your MySQL database is using a *free* web-based application called phpMyAdmin.
