Installing MySQL on Windows is pretty easy and can be done securely. An important factor is setting it up the MySQL service to run as a non-privileged user. My MySQL Basics tutorial page gives you step by step instructions on how to do that: http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/mysql-tutorial.htm Same kind of drill with Apache -- run the service under a non-privileged user. Though you _can_ skip Apache by running PHP under IIS if they're crazy enough to use that. But I'm a fan of getting someone else to manage the servers. One less thing for me to worry about. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
