CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I know how to navigate phpMyAdmin on a rudimentary level, but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do because I don't know what this word means.

The page is "Upgrade Joomla Sites to 2.0" at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Upgrade+Joomla+Sites+to+2.0

The instructions say:

# Load the 1.9 table structure into this new database by sourcing civicrm/sql/civicrm_41.mysql (in your existing 1.9 codebase).

shell > mysql -u crm_db_username -pcrm_db_password civicrm19Fix < civicrm_41.mysql

# Dump the data ONLY from your existing 1.9 database to a file:

shell > mysqldump -u crm_db_username -pcrm_db_password -c -e -n -t civicrm19 > dumpFile

# Populate the new empty database with your data by sourcing the dumped file:

shell > mysql -u crm_db_username -pcrm_db_password civicrm19Fix < dumpFile

can you tell me what I need to do to "source" something?

Thanks
