In response to a recent question I posted regarding installing
MySQL/PHP/Apache on a G4 tibook I was recommended to get a copy of
Mac OS X as this was condsidered to be the most stable and easily
configurable option at my disposal.
I am fairly well-versed in relational concepts but a bit slow at
command-line interfaces.
My alternatives are: installing the combo on LinuxPPC, using
Windows98 (emulated) or getting an x86 computer just for running
MySQL/PHP/Apache.
My purpose is to gain knowledge of the above setup in order to
publish information to a virtual server I rent on which MySQL/PHP is
supported. I come from a Filemaker Pro background.
When I looked on the web at examples of using MySQL with Mac OS X I
wasn't particularly reassured. It seems that this is something of a
minority interest and there are problems with compiling the
application.
Can anyone on this list reassure me that this is indeed the easiest
way into the technology? Or should I bite the bullet and get torn
into Linux? Although I am a support of the Open Source concept I
don't mind paying Apple for the OS X license if it is going to get me
up and running quickest. I am currently running Mac OS 9.1.
Thanks in advance.
