RE: Configure Apache for mysql.

Are you trying to configure MySQL to be used directly by Apache or by
PHP or CF or some other application server?

Well, firsat of all MySQL doesn't run on/under Apache.

MySQL is a Datbase Server.

Apache is a Web Server.

They have no direct means of communication.

MySQL stores information, and gives it to applications that request this
information in what ever pattern that application needs/requests.

Apache servers "pages" of information. Where that information comes from
is not the concern of Apache.

If you want to retrieve information from MySQL and have it "servers" to
others via Apache, you need an application written in your favorite
language.

Many use PHP, Perl, C, Java, Python, .NET.

Take your choice.

If you want a rock solid windows-based installation and configuration,
drop over to...

http://web.torres.ws/dev/php/walters_way

That will tel you how to install MySQL, Apache, PHP and Perl and get
PHP/Perl to communicate via Apache.

PHP/Perl communicating to MySQL is another ball of wax. There are many PHP
and Perl lists and web sites that can help you in that regard.

Also, phpMyAdmin is a great MySQL administration tool. It uses PHP to
communicate and control your MySQL database and uses Apache to comunicate
with you.

Good luck.

Walter

Re: Configure Apache for mysql.

Hi, James - Nothing else needs to be done. You need to have both
servers running and then put in some code (PHP, Perl, python, ASP,
ASP.NET, whatever) to collect the input data (web form) then transmit it
to some processing code for validation and submission to the database.
I'd suggest using the appropriate Visual Blueprint or VisualQuickStart
book to get going there.

HTH.
