Thank you so much for the explanation. I actually figured out (after wasting all day) that I didn't need to install mySQL... and that SQLite was already installed. So I was able to set up a local server. (I then couldn't figure out how to connect with the remote server, but I can work on the local server for now and leave that for later.)
Now I'm on to a whole new set of problems... :-) It seems that a lot of the tutorials in the book I'm using no longer function with TG2, so I'm having to search the web for snippets of code to use as models. Anyway, if I can't get some of this figured out, I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again soon... ~Karen On Sep 27, 3:14 pm, Michael Pedersen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 12:06 PM, Karen McNeil <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm trying to develop a web application that's just for my own use (it > > won't be public), so I'd like to develop the application and set up > > the database directly on the remote server.
