Brian W Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 In most cases, the answer is yes, its just a matter of what rout you should take. What OS are you running and what version of that OS is it? Unix, MS Windows (xp, vista, etc) ? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/158807-is-it-possible/#findComment-837674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Just download the installer from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ and run it. The installing procedure should be fairly straightforward.
