Hey everyone!

I'm trying to setup a site that uses ASP and an SQL database for one of my customers.

I'm a little confused about the process and wondering if anyone could help me out...

The server I'm running is a 2001 Raq 4...

I'll list my questions below, and hope for the best... Thanks in advance for your help!

1) I've installed the MySQL pkg from the Cobalt site - is there anything else I have to do to install or configure it?

2) Is there some kind of manager for MySQL, some kind of GUI that will allow me to set up databases, etc?

3) Is there a utility for creating MySQL DBs on a Windows desktop, or does it have to be done through notepad or something?

4) For ASP, I assumed I'd just use the Chil!Soft version already on the box... Is this a good idea, or is there a better way to do it?

5) Once the DB is setup, how do I connect to it with the ASP? I'm not sure which port to use, or how to really go about doing it.

I think that's about it for now... Thanks again for your help...

I rrrrrrreally appreciate it!!

Take care,

Colin
