Need help - Setting up MySQL

[Fscreams]

So - I have no idea what i'm looking for as there aren't any tutorials ( that I can find ) to set this up.

What are you trying to do exactly other than set up MySQL? What are you setting it up for?

Also here's a little something for Setting up MySQL: https://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/ar ... intro.html

Setting it up for an automate donation thing and a mapvote

[Aeternal]

You don't need MySQL for a map vote system. As for the donation system, if you'd want to spend a little money you can go to coderhire.com and buy one. The map vote system is based on lua and you can pretty much google it and find free ones

Actually - the map vote system I have uses ratings - and it saves them. So it needs a data base.

Already have the donating thing from coder hire, just don't know how to set it up.

If you had a donations system from coder hire it should've come with an SQL file. You'd have to put that with your servers .exe usually located outside your garrysmod folder

No point in setting up your own MySQL server, you can use the one NFO includes with their web hosting. Do you have web hosting from NFO currently?

[Fscreams]

Yeah, already have a database through NFO.

What are you having trouble with? Do you have the database made? Do you need help configuring the plugins to use the database?
