[Xerte] walkthrough for installing toolkits

[RonM]

I've installed toolkits on some shared hosting accounts and found it easiest
to create an empty database for toolkits first and then a user account
specific to that database with relevant permissions and then use that
database name, account and password during the Xerte setup.

On the basis you might not get this until tomorrow and it'll be slow
doing overnight replies. Here are some things to try.

1) The first account you enter must be able to make databases and create
tables. Do you know that the account you enter has these rights?

2) If that fails, try accessing basic.sql in the setup folder. Do a find
and replace on the $ symbol for whatever database table prefix you would
like - you don't have to use one and could just remove the dollars if
you'd prefer. Take these queries to your database client (phpmyadmin),
and try running them.

Then look at database.txt in the setup folder, and modify it to
represent your database.

Then visit page3.php in the setup folder in a web browser. You might get
some errors as it will be slightly confused.

But please let me know the errors.

Thanks

I have a hosted account (on Siteground) and would like to install Xerte
toolkit.  (I've managed 
moodle and drupal).  I am getting errors about setting up the database
when I run Setup. I 
am a tad beyond total newbie status when it comes to mysql and php.
(Siteground has easy 
installers for the packages it supports.)

Does anyone know of a walkthrough tutorial that might make it possible
for me to install this? 
I've found information about installing on XAMP but not on a hosted
account.

BTW, I did at least check that the file permissions on the folders
mentioned in Setup were ok. 
But I could not find the Loaed Configuration File's path as given in PHP
Info using Filezilla.
