Hi there,

My operator is using MS SQL 2003 on IIS 6 web server. Can I use MS SQL or should I ask if they could install MySQL on their webserver?

Thanks in advance.

Ok. So I'll install MySQL also to webserver.
Thanks dude.

One more studpid question and then I'm gone :-) Where can I download 4.x version of MySQL? I understood that 5.x costs and 4.x version is free. I can't find free version from MySQL product site http://www.mysql.com/products.

This board deals with Coppermine, not server setup, so you should have posted elsewhere.


Anyway:

That's wrong.

Check mySQL's downloads section: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

Another thing: self-hosting is not recommended at all. Search the board for previous discussions if you want to find out why.
