atlanta Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 You have to install them to make them function on the server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircooled57 Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 what on my pc .... or on my websites server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlanta Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 If you pay for the website server they should already have these 2 included on the server. but if not you will have to install them on the websites server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 MySQL is a Database. If you want to run a website from your PC, then you would install it there. If you have a Server, then you would install it there. It can be a seperate server (recommended) or even on the same machine as the Apache/IIS server. You are not really explaining yourself very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP_PhREEEk Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 If your PC is running a webserver locally (ie., localhost), then they will work. They will definitely work on a server, but most servers already have these available. You cannot install MySQL to a remote server unless you own it and have root access. If your webhost has MySQL installed, but phpMyAdmin is not, you can install phpMyAdmin to your web docs quite easily. It, however, is rather tricky to setup so that it is secure...

aircooled57 Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 all it says when i run the setup is could not connect to database,it mentions nothing about what is wrong it simply says could not connect which makes me question if i have set it up correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 It mentions exactly whats wrong, it cant connect to the database. You have either the wrong servername, wrong id, wrong password or wrong database in your conf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
