sql question

[Grandphoenix]

I'm using blackapplehost.com and I almost have eqdkp uploaded but 2 files won't upload due to permissions. All the other files I can change but these two wont change.

Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (74,86,223,249,153,100)
Command: STOR mysql_data.sql
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (74,86,223,249,173,47)
Command: STOR mysql_structure.sql
Response: 553 Filetype not allowed. File mysql_data.sql won't be saved.
Error: Critical error
Response: 553 Filetype not allowed. File mysql_structure.sql won't be saved.
Error: Critical error

How can I get this to work?

Response: 553 Filetype not allowed.

Is your host not allowing extensions with .sql? That's what it seems like from the message above. Is this a free host?

Hmm it appears it isn't loading any of the 4 .sql i tried to send. I thought it was the attributes being 553 being a problem. I even copied the text over ontPerhaps something I can do in phpmyadmin?

Was there any instructions given? Those files might be database tables to be uploaded via phpbyadmin like you said.

Step 5-1:
Database Host:
Your MySQL server name. If it resides on the same server as the web server,
you should enter 'localhost'
Database Name:
The name of the database you created for EQdkp, usually 'eqdkp'.
Database Username:
The username with permission to access the database. If you didn't
create the database yourself, your host should have given you this
information.
Database Password:
The password used with the username from above.
Prefix for EQdkp tables:
Simply prefixes the name of each table that EQdkp creates and uses.
The default of 'eqdkp_' should be sufficient for most installations.

Domain Name:
Should be detected automatically by the installation script, but if not
just put the domain name of your server here (ex: mydomain.com, Untitled Document).
Webserver port:
Unless the web server is running on a port other than the default (80), just leave
the setting as-is.
Script path:
The path following the domain name where the script is located. Example: If the full
path to the install script is http://mydomain.com/user/eqdkp/, you would enter
'/user/eqdkp/', if the full path was http://mydomain.com/eqdkp/', the path would be
'/eqdkp/'.

This was the step I was having issues with. Think it might just be the site.

sounds like it's just blocking you from uploading a file with the .sql extension, maybe try uploading them as .php and rename them after? Also, did you already create the databases like it says?

I just tried installing that eqdkp just to see and it went through just fine.

Yeah I created it. I tried uploading as .php and .txt and renaming but didn't work either. Did you try it on the same host?

[virusiidx]

No, sorry, I meant on my own host.

Phpmyadmin should allow you to import a .sql file to create a new table. Just create a db and then select the "import" tab from the db view to create a new table from a local .sql file.
