MySQL is the world’s most popular open source database software, with over 100 million copies of its software downloaded or distributed throughout its history.
This is a straight install of MySQL with PhpMyAdmin included to make the management of MySQL as easy as possible. No password has been set on MySQL so you can do that through either the command line, or through PMA. (which needs PHP, which you can download or use the WHS PHP Installer Add-In)

I don’t know why anyone would really want to use mySQL on their home server.. but ok…
SQL 2008 Express is absolutely free and provides 80% of the functionality of the Enterprise Edition. On a Windows-based machine, it’s a no-brainer.

I agree, why in the world would anybody install mySQL on any computer.

Maybe because their is much php based software which isn’t able to use MS SQL?

I agree with Mike, I’m not sure Wordpress even works with Wordpress for example, and Gallery 2 seems to be more experimental support with MS Sql but both have been developed with MySql in mind.

I was hoping to start running a joomla website on my homeserver. However, when I install MySQL, the process is sudenly rolling back at the end of the installation and displays an error message 1603. Please contact the add-in author.
Any idea what’s wrong?

If you can post more details on the thread at http://www.mediasmart.net/forums it might help me track down the problem.
I’ve got an issue with a German install at the moment which I’m trying to work on a fix which could be related?

Hi,
I have tried to download this several times. Each time I try to unzip, there is an error in the archive, and it breaks the operation.
Is there an alternate download link?
Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded and extracted the file with no issues. If you want to post in the Mediasmartserver.net forums we can try to help you troubleshoot.

Thanks Alex,
I just retried using Chrome, and it failed, but was successful using IE.
Random I know, and I don’t know enough to say why, but I am guessing maybe one of the Chrome extensions. Its not the first time I ran into that problem.
I will try later with various extensions disabled just to see.
Thanks again.
