Might help if you read the instructions first. Unzip and copy the folder to your server. Point your web browser to the index.php file inside the folder (i.e., http://yourdomain.com/folder/index.php). The PHP script will request your database information and execute the code to change the database. What the instructions don't mention is to make sure you back up the database before you run the script.
