Normally you have access to PHP (v4.1.1), phpMyAdmin (v2.2.0), MySQL (v3.23.41), and .htaccess. These instructions may need to be slightly varied in order to be correct for your web site host.
Go to the Files area for the Back-End project on SourceForge.net and download a copy of BE v4.8.1. If you use a Windows PC then download the .zip version of the files, even if your site host provides a Unix environment for your web site. Save the .zip file somewhere convenient and then unzip the package contents. Ensure that you retain the directory structure used in the .zip file.
Step 2: Load Back-End v4.8.1 onto your web site.
Access your web site using FTP. There will be a directory in your website with a file called index.html. This directory is probably the "root" directory for HTML files. Create a directory under here called cms. Transfer the Back-End directory/file structure created in Step 1 into this directory.
Step 3: Access phpMyAdmin via the Control Panel for your new web site.
In order to get in to phpMyAdmin you'll need to know the administrator username and password. These will have been supplied to you with your account information. By accessing phpMyAdmin you are effectively confirming that the supplied details are correct. The phpMyAdmin Welcome screen shows the name of the empty MySQL database that has been created for you.
Edit the file includes/db.php, and change the values for username, password, and database to those determined in Step 2.
Step 5: Point your browser at http://www.yoursite.com/cms/htdocs/php.php.
This page tells you everything you need to know about the PHP installation at your site. In fact, it tells you way more than you really need to know. If it told you the name of your site's MySQL database then you wouldn't need to access phpMyAdmin at alla
There is only the one value you need to note from this
