Hello:
I am trying set up a message board which requires MYSQL to be installed. I am
new at this, so please excuse my >ignorance... where does MYSQL have to be
installed? Do I install it on my PC, server, or both. Can I install it on my

Thank you,

Jason, MySQL is a server-based database engine. It needs to be installed on a server for database applications development, such as a message board. If your ISP does not have a MySQL server (which could very well be on their web server), you're out of luck. You'll need to implement your message board via PERL, CGI, ASP, or whatever else your ISP uses. Otherwise, you can find an ISP that provides a MySQL-enabled Web Server. Regards, Van
