anyone ever used either of these? I'm trying to use a webportal system for my website, but my crappy host doesnt offer apache, only mysq;. I cant really afford a new host so if i was too boot up apache on my pc could i use that apache install combined with the mysql on the host? IE everything but apache on the host, and just point it at my apache?

 

You sir have alot of questions.

 

yea u aint shitting

 

really ? you think ?

 

There I go again mr. obvious.

 

Yea I run it on this server, you can install it with the click of a button

If you don't have mysql you are pretty much screwed in this day and age.... back to work.

 

so i can or i need to put mysql on this box and host it all local?

 

you can use a remote mysql server, but if they aren't on the same switch you might as well take up smoking or something so you can keep busy while pages load.

 

****. I tried to use mysql on this box once. I got it installed and even managed to make a database but i couldnt figure out how to fill it. And using phpmyadmin was making my brain sizzle.

 

found this prog called appserv or something so fixed that prob, how do i point my .com to my pc? My host has a nameserver to specify but i dont.
