  Creating a new site
  To create an application site using zeroCode:
     
 
1
Choose a name for the web site
 
2
Key in a description for the site
 
3
If the site name already exists, choose one of the following:
Do not destroy the existing site but overwrite any new files that you create this time  
Destroy all the files in the site and start afresh.
If the site does not exist, neither of these options apply.
 
4
Key in the path name of the file that contains the SQL for creating the tables that the site uses.  You can instead click on the Browse button and choose that file.
 
5
From the combo, select the database server where you have or would like to have your site's data hosted.
 
6
Choose the option to destroy and recreate the database if you don't already have the site's database hosted. If you do, click on the "Do not create database" option - that will open up two other choices. With one, you can give zeroCode the user ID and password to use to verify  if the SQL you provided is identical to the structure of the database. With the other option, zeroCode simply ignores your database choice and assumes that it is in sync with the SQL file you just gave it in the above field. You do need to tell zeroCode what user ID and password to use to get into the database, though, so that the site that you create can do the same later.
 
7
Click the button 'Create' to continue. zeroCode now analyzes the SQL you gave it and directs you to the next stage, where you can select specific components and options for site generation.
