Send to database

M

Michelle

I recently submitted a question about this and have since learned my site is
hosted on a Unix server with IIS and therefore cannot use the "Send to
database" feature in FP 2003.

What do I do to create a database to work with?

Ask your host what DB (mySql?) and server side scripting (PHP?) they do support

Unix servers do not run IIS - they usually run Apache, or an Apache
lookalike.

Unix servers often offer mySQL for database, and PHP for scripting.
There is little support for either of these in FrontPage.

Free Windows versions of mySQL and PHP can be obtained from
http://www.mysql.com/
and
http://www.php.net/

Check with your host if they support either or both of these (you will
need both).

I previously downloaded from php.net, but don't think I did it right. If I
downloade a 2nd time, will it overwrite the previous download?
