Hi,
I followed the RSS2SQL v3.x Instructions to install the script and to create the database on my domain hosted by fatcow.com:
1. unzipped the rss2sql.zip file and copied the contents by FTP to the web server;
2. ran the install module (rss2sql_install.php) and submitted;
3.created and uploaded the new configuration file as "rss2sql_DBconfig.inc.php";
4. ran .../rss2sql.php?buildConfig and saw the lot of fields, followed the advice not to touch them... and clicked on "Generate Data";
5. then saved the new configuration file contents ...
-> was it correct to name this new file again "rss2sql_DBconfig.inc.php" and therefore to overwrite the previous one that had been created under point 3?
on the same page there was also the code to create the two database tables that are needed by rss2sql, with the hint to copy it into the command-line for my database...
Here I got stuck. How do I get into the commandline for my database? Or where else could I paste the code for the tables, or how else could I create those two tables?
Appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Aurelia

Hi all,
I tried to create SQL Database via Contol Panel on fatcow.com and imported then the script for creating the two tables.
Here is the reaction output that I got:
===BEGINNING

There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '\',$_POST[\'ItemDCDescription\']; ?> VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCD' at line 33
==== END
So my question is: Is there really a syntax error in the code above? And what language is the code above, is it SQL.

Hello all,
I once more went through the setup procedure, trying to figure out possible mistakes that I might have committed.
This time, I first created a new MySQL database on my www.fatcow.com server, and used its settings (db name, location,login, password) when running rss2sql_install.php.
Saved the new configuration file as "rss2sql_DBconfig.inc.php" and uploaded it to my server, where the other rss2sql files are.
Ran ~ rss2sql.php?buildConfig, hit "Generate configuration data", copied the data into a new file and saved it as "rss2sql_config.php"
-> Question: is this the correct filename, or should this config file be saved with a different filename?
Also copied the code for creation of the two database tables...
Assumed that this code is in SQL format...??
And named the two files as follows:
1. _create_table_feedInfo.sql
2. _create_table_feedItems.sql
Imported the first table into mysqladmin.fatcow... and it was created properly.
Imported the second table into mysqladmin.fatcow... and got again THIS ERROR MESSAGE about SQL Syntax Error:
"MySQL said:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '\',$_POST[\'ItemDCDescription\']; ?> VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCD' at line 33 "
Indeed, line 33 looks different from all others:
...
ItemTrackBackPing VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemTrackBackAbout MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCTitle VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
\',$_POST[\'ItemDCDescription\']; ?> VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCDate VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCSubject VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCCreator VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
...
is this \',$_POST expression correct at this place? Or should I just delete it
I would really appreciate any help very much, as I need to get on with this.

Yes, the SQL code should look more like this:
...
ItemTrackBackPing VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemTrackBackAbout MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCTitle VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCDescription VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCDate VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCSubject VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
ItemDCCreator VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "",
...
Try changing that file manually and using it again to create the SQL table.

Thanks for your kind reply.
Indeed, this solved the issue.
After correcting the SQL code file for creating Table 'feedItems' manually,
things worked smoothly.
@ Gamliel: Maybe this is also the solution for the problem that you posted. It looked to me similiar to my issue.
