MySql Installer help
I've read thru thru what it says at www.mysql.com and they may as well be speaking greek still.

I'm trying configure the installer so that I can run PHP and MySql. And I get to the point where I have the password requested. I get that but it's not set up the same way as it is in a normal FTP client. So it's not connecting to my web site or is it suppose to? Like I said, it's greek. I have all the information handy that I need, I just don't know where it's all suppose to go on this one unlike a normal FTP set up. And it's giving me a headache.

All this started as a result of getting highly frustrated with the choices I had currently with the Fantastico panel as far as my database options were concerned and I went hunting for a way to do something myself. I couldn't get the current one to update the graphics.

If anyone could help explain this in simple terms, it would help. And telling me to go look for the answers like some are more than willing to do isn't going to help since I have already gone that route. Liz

MySQL is a database, doesn't have anything to do with FTP. Anyways, you mentioned Fantastico so the server probably has MySQL already. Are you installing this on your own server, or are you with a webhost?

It does have Fantasico, but the two databases offered, CubeCart and OSCommerce, we don't like. We wanted to see if we could come up with something ourselves or one of the other free ones out there but to do that we had to install the installer? to run it? Or am I totally confused? Liz

CubeCart and OSCommerce are shopping carts. MySQL is a database. Sounds like you already have MySQL and you are looking for shopping cart software to work with it. You might like this one
