How do I install a mysql database on my own server? I host it from my computer...I have it downloaded from the site, just not sure how to do it
Guide to install MySQL database?
The MySQL site has a guide to do this.
Also, to post this kinda info, you would need to tell us what OS your running on...
i am on Windows XP, I got it installed, i have no clue how to config it...
Well, the guide will walk you through it. I'd suggest you get a GUI utility like phpMyAdmin. Works great if you're new to MySQL.
is it freeware? I am only 15, no job hehe so I can't afford much since I just bought Zend studio..
yep, it's free. MySQL also has some GUI utilities..
