The pdf instructions @ http://www.buzztouch.com/BT-server/installation.pdf doesn't go into detail instead they recommend finding a skilled professional or paying $300 for them to setup your database. I bring this topic up because Buzztouch's audience is mostly non-coders/non-developers, and target designers or novices like myself who want to build an app without knowing code. I find that not having a step by step instructions on setting up a Mysql database to connect to BT Touch's server could be a hinderance and possibly turn some people away from upgrading their plan to the self-hosted level. I even searched the forums and surprisingly nobody has raised this question. I'm not griping about BT because I think its the best thing since slice bread but it would awesome if the guess work was removed. My suggestion would be to provide a link or video tutorial on setting up a mYsql database on the How To's resource page at the very least. Any help on setting up a Mysql database to connect to BT server would be great.

If you are using cPanel, log in, and go to the MySQL Database Wizard. Enter a database name, a username, a password, set the permissions to 777 'all', and the put the exact same details into the BuzzTouch control panel. PM me if you need help, I can probably do it for you if you can't figure it out yaself. And I agree, it probably should be included in the tutorial, but if you search "make MySQL database" it should come up in your search engine. // J Comments Hey mdg, Setting up a MySQL database couldn't be easier, assuming you are using cPanel with your host.

I was also able to download some of the plug-ins from BT but wondering where I can get the RSS Reader plug in from? Thanks again.

To be honest the RSS plugin isn't worth it- it has a major bug where the items mysterously disappear. It's on BuzzTouchMods.com I believe, if you really want to try it. // J Comments haha, not a problem!
