Step
1: Extraction & Database Installation:
(1) Create a folder on your desktop and rename it as
Desktop Communication.
(2) Inside the Desktop Communication folder, extract the 2 zip files named DSInstaller.zip
and ControlPanelSetup.zip. In the DSInstaller.zip file, you’ll find 2 folders which have a default name of
database and scripts. In the ControlPanelSetup.zip file, you
will find the ControlPanelSetup.exe file. After extraction, the 3 files
should be in your Desktop Communication folder.

Creating MySQL Database
(1) Login to your cpanel account.
(2) Click on MySQL® Databases.
(3) Scroll to the middle of the page, you’ll see an option to create a database. Enter a database name. It could be any name you want but for the purpose of this tutorial, we are going to use
idsdata for all entries. Then, click on Create Database button.
(4) Check if you receive a confirmation message that the database has been created. It should be something like this:
(5) Click the Go Back link and proceed to the next step.
(6) Next, create a MySQL user. Scroll to the middle of the page just after the option create database, you’ll see another option where you can create
username and password of a MySQL user. Enter something almost similar to your database name so that you can easily track later. For this example; I’m going to use the same name as the database. You can do same if you want.
Be sure to remember the database username and password. Then, Click on
Create User button.
(7) Check if you receive a confirmation message that the username and password have been created. It should be something like this:
(8) Click the Go Back link and proceed to the next step.
(9) Just below Create User, there’s another option where you can assign a user to the database. Just select the correct username and database as created in the previous steps.
Note that sometimes, webhosts will include a few words before each database name AND username you create. These are the correct username and database name that you should be using.
It could be something like: abcd_idsdata or 8ho38_idsdata, etc...
This depends on the webhost.
- The password is usually NOT affected. But be sure to check before proceeding to the next step.
Check the box next to ALL to allow full priviledge to the user of the database.
Then, click on Add User To Database button.
(10) Check if you receive a confirmation message that the username have been assigned to the database. It should be something like this:
(11) Open notepad. Copy and paste the username and database name provided above PLUS the database password.
Save as dbinformation.txt in the Desktop Communication folder. You’ll need this information to configure the control panel. Here’s how it should look like:
(12) Click the Go Back link and proceed to the next step.
(13) Scroll completely down the page, click on phpMyAdmin.
(14) Click on the newly created database: _idsdata
(15) Make sure at the left is displayed the name of the newly created database. Click on
Import option.
(16) Click Choose File button to select database.
(17) Browse the folder database which was extracted to the Desktop Communication folder in step 1.
(18) Inside the database folder, select the file desksenderdb.sql by clicking on it.
(19) Check if it’s written desksenderdb.sql to be sure it was correctly imported.
Then click the Go button down below.
(20) A message should be displayed at the top. Check if it is something like this:
(21) Click on Structure option to double check if all the tables were correctly created. There should be 6 tables in total. These are named as follows:
If things don’t turn out as described above, just go back to step 1 and start over again.
Voila!
You have your database created. Let’s move on to Step Two.
