Error when uploading to database

[Nick24]

Hi all,

When I tried uploading phpvms to my database it came up with the following error...

Error

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

ERROR: Unknown Punctuation String @ 1

STR: <?

SQL: <?php

/**

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 '<?php

Does anyone know what this means and how to correct it?

Thanks

Hello, you dont upload the files into the database you run the installer from your site, this will populate the database for you.

All you have to do is create a database or define its settings on the install page.
