I really don't know much about MySQL, but would like to also read about how you do this using Win2000 ?

Well, actually you will have no problems with the MySQL itself, but there are few bugs in the W2K OS. It took me about 2 weeks to make it work. Now it's perfect. Works very well with the OS and the PWS. I hate heavy things and that'a why removed the IIS. If you decide to start working with it, just mail me back and I'll send you full dscription, how to do it!

I am extremely new to php and mysql. I am used to plain old access databases. My web host only accepts mysql databases. After going through the endless pages of setting up mysql, I have yet to find information on how to create mysql databases. If I got pass this, I'm sure I'd be using php with a mysql database in no time. I've managed to create a database on my host, and I've downloaded something to edit it. But I'm still lost on how to create the database. And, it'd be much easier for me to just convert my access databases to mysql. How would I do this, and how would I transfer it to the server? the only thing I can see so far is that I would have to re enter everything into the mysql server? Can't it just be as easy as uploading my database, I wish it could be. If anyone would be willing to help, I'd be very grateful,

Thanks,

Stefan

I only read this last night but it may help... I read that you can export to MySQL from Access. I also read that you can use a free utility called DataTools... Again, don't hold me to this because I've only read it but it is a starting place.

For Win */* OS, and also for Linux RedHat 6.5+ OS u can find an free instalation package for :

• MySql
• PHP4
• Perl
• Apache

Check the address http://www.nusphere.com and search for the free package ! Easy for configuring also. Good Luck !

Dear Friend.
