yana Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I was wondering whether or not an Access database can exist on a Linux server or not?I need to create a web page which will display results of database table using PHP. If Access database can not exist on a Linux server, what can? (Easiest possible solution!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyRay2 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 The most you'll be able to accomplish would probably be:[list][*]Import your Access database to another Linux-compatible database system, like MySQL or similar[*]Access your Access database from a Windows machine using your Linux machine (Info[url=http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/timuckun20001207.php3?page=1]HERE[/url])[*]Run PHP on a Windows machine with Access installed (Info[url=http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/timuckun20001207.php3?page=1]HERE[/url]). [/list]Unless you have some specific reason for making Access work with a Linux webserver, I would say dump Access and use MySQL or something similar.
