Do you have those files in the correct folder?

[gutika113]

yes they are in the ax classic db folder on my hard drive. i would believe they need to be there unless they need to be somewhere else.

Run this:
dir c:\ax_classic_db
And paste the results.

If I had to guess, I would say you're probably missing the .sql extension from the source files (MySQL doesn't assume the extension). This should do the trick:

mysql -u root -pPASSWORD DBNAME < ax_classic_full_3.sql
mysql -u root -pPASSWORD DBNAME < ax_classic_core_update_3

[mattmeck]

ax_classic_core_update_3.0b6.sql
ax_classic_full_3.0b4.sql

is what they are called

ax_classic < ax_classic_full_3.sql

is what your trying to run.

The names arent the same.

[gutika113]

ok ill give that a try when i get home.

If they insist on sourcing in a shell, the only one they can source is the "ax_classic_full" version. The update would work if they dropped all the tables they were updating with. Even the full won't work if there already is a full in the database.
My idea was to simplify things for people just starting out, and have them download MySql Administrator, use it's backup/restore features. If they don't use MySql Admin, then they are going to need the smarts to drop the tables first.
