Hosting site is using CPanel, but there is not option that I see for this guestbook under Fantastico. I do not see any guestbooks listed unfortunately. And I created the guestbook directory in MySQL when I uploaded the files so I am not sure how it might be tied in with another script.
I went into the pHPMyAdmin area to see what I might find out. I think a post says to check the book_auth. The passoword comes up with a very long string of characters. I'm not sure if that is normal or is supposed to show my actual password. I tried changing it to the password I put in before and trying to access the admin area. It did not work. So I deleted everything and tried it fresh again. Same thing but I have not done anything now with it as I was hoping to have help from here.

I am just looking to be able to add a guestbook to a website I run for a friend. This one looks to be the best of what I could find and I am hitting a wall. I am really not the best with this PHP stuff and I do not know what to do next. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
