I am setting up a message board on my home windows 2000 server with IIS. I installed PHP and got that to work and now i need to set up a mysql database. How do i go about doing that, i installed the mysql software but im stuck from there.

Hello,

after installation you can access every object in the MySQL. Normally the server starts automatically. If you want to create a database or access your datas (create table and so on) use AlligatorSQL at http://www.alligatorsql.com/download/alligator.zip

AlligatorSQL supports also MSSQL7 and SQL2000 databases.

Hope that helps otherwise describe your problem with more details.
