I think I REALLY need to pick up a book on mySQL soon. I’ve undertaken the task of trying to set up a developement server here at home. Now that’s a pain in the ass!

I have PWS set up without issue. I then installed PHP and that’s working fine (finally). Now, Ive installed mySQL. I believe that it’s working without issue, but then again, I have no clue what the hell I’m doing… so I could be horribly wrong.

I use mySQL as a backend to CrazyTed.com, but that’s just using PHP as an interface for it. I have little control in the way of the actual mySQL server itself, which is what I’m trying to install and administer for the developement server. And to say that it’s confusing is an understatement.

So, I think sometime this week I’m going to pick up a mySQL book and dive into that.

I’m also looking for a copy of winXP to put on one of my other machines to see what it’s all about. If someone has a copy I could eval, let me know.
