13. Select database administrator on the left pane, and login to the database, using the username, password and database name you have created previously, as below:

14. Now, we are going to dump the database for the system to a text file so that it can be imported into your online system in zymic.First, open command prompt line and go to C:/xampp/mysql/bin by typing cd ../.. and enter. Then type cd xampp/mysql/bin and enter. 15. Next is to use mysqldump to do the database dumping. To do this, type mysqldump u username p databasename > databasename.txt and enter.

16. Open C:/xampp/mysql/bin and you will see a file named databasename.txt. Rename the file extension to databasename.sql. 17. Now back to zymic.

20. Make sure you take note of the FTP information given to you on the left pane when you log in to the control panel in zymic. The host, username,password and port given will be the 4 things that you will need to enter in FileZilla in order to connect to zymic ftp. The password is the same password as the web host account.

21. For filezilla, the left side is your local PC files while the right side is the server, in this case zymic. After successfully connected, navigate to your web files and just drag all the files from the left side (your pc) and drop it to the server side (zymic).

Drag from here and drop to the right

22. Right click the main page of your web file that has been uploaded and rename it to index.php. This is to make sure that when you type your url later in the web browser, let say http://aisyah.zxq.net, the main page can be automatically loaded. Make sure to update other files that has link to the main page as well so you wont get link error. 23. Open your web browser and type the url to test your system. For your information, in the future if you are to host any website or online system, the steps will be somehow similar. So it is good if you can have the experience from now. All the best for your presentation, Insha Allah! **Friendly reminder: For the database connection, (mysql_connect(localhost,username,password) & mysql_select_db(dbname,connectionstring)), please make sure you change the database name, username and password to the one that you use in the zymic server or you wont be able to use the database.
