Mysql
Database driven websites.
You got to start somewhere-right. So anyway, I went out and bought a copy of Larry Ullmans book. PHP and MySQL for dynamic websites. It seems to me that this is the next stage in my development. The book says I'm going to need..
- Apache
- PHP
- Mysql
So I still don't know exactly what I am doing, but in the back of my mind
I'd like to power a html form with php. I currently use an external company to do this for my site.
It is a very good free service, but it has it's limitations.
This isn't a problem as yet, due to a lack of traffic through here, but with luck and hard work
I hope to change that and am looking to be prepared.
So I've gone to dev.mysql.com MySQL Downloads and downloaded version 5.
Following the steps, the instillation and configuration.
Execute... Check back for updates and progress as and when I make some.
Please be patient. It might be some time.

Finding a suitable web host
Awardspace a new host, sister of the classic atspace, have come up with the goods. I applied for an account and was signed up instantly, very excited at this point. Set up a name for my new database ahaa, checked out the control center. Scratches head.
Uploading Word Press
I followed the 5 minute instillation instructions, updated the php config file with the database details etc. uploaded to the server. All went smoothly apart from a couple of errors on my part. Saving the php.config as php.config.txt, didn't help, twidled about and got it sorted.
