Database question before i install PHP link Directory

[MrB]

As a complete MySQL novice i have a question which im sure some of you will able to answer easily.

I currently have 1 x MySQL database running on my host, and im using Vbulletin forum software on it.

If i wanted to install PHP Link Directory would I have to have a second MySQL database set up by my Hosting company or can i just add it to my current one, or would doing this mess up my forum database

Thanks,

I think it wouldn't mess up your forum DB, but anyway I wouldnt suggest you to do it, rather go and get another DB, or atleast backup your current DB before you do anything ..

Ok, i have been told that a way to do it would be to add a prefix when installing the new database, does phplinkdirectory allow you to add a prefix when are installing it?

Around line 44 of include/config.php, you have this:
Content visible to registered users only.
Before installing you can simply change "PLD_" to whatever you want it to me.

Content visible to registered users only.

And this of course means that phplinkdirectory allready has it's own prefix ;)

Good programmers? :P
