There's a much lower-volume mailing list specifically for Macintosh Apache/MySQL/PHP called 'AMP' which is hosted at... http://www.dynapolis.com??? Getting MySQL started just once to play with it is probably do-able by opening up a shell, and doing: cd XXX/mysql ./scripts/safe_mysqld & You'll have to replace XXX with where-ever MySQL got installed. Making it start automatically on boot on Mac OS X was a thread on the AMP list whose outcome I forget, but there's a handy URL in the archives for doing it. Note: I'm subscribed to the AMP list, but don't actually have OS X installed anywhere... -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
