[SOLVED] MySQL!

crackafaza · Nov 5th, 2007, 13:21

Hi all!
Right, I was wondering a few things for help!

I am in work, and the computer used to run PHP and MYSQL! but because IIS wouldn't work we got rid of both, after we reinstalled iis, we tried 2 reinstall php and mysql!
after many days we finally got php on, was a right nightmare

.

So i thought I Would use this other computer that runs vista though!
soo what I did was installed php on it which was alot simpler

, but i was wondering! does Vista suppport Mysql? or not?
Because i have downloaded it, and followed all the steps, but keep getting errors and i don't no why!

So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Cracka

Yep, Vista definitely "supports" MySql. I'm running XAMPP with PHP and MySql without problems on Vista Business.....

Oh right Thanks!
Yeah I am using vista business and i have got php working, but mysql just wont seem to install!
could someone please send me a link to the mysql file i should be downloading? because maybe i am using the wrong one!

Thanks

This is the most likely candidate:

http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/M....zip/from/pick

I read that the 64bit version isn't supported on Vista yet, maybe you tried that originally?

This should be the one that you are downloading if you are going to use XAMPP: http://www.apachefriends.org/downloa...-installer.exe.

You might also want to read this:
