MySQL and Windows 2K
I have just been handed an HP-LC2000 (dual 600Mhz processors) with Windows 2000 and IIS5. I have been using DBman on and off for many things. I would like to now install DBMan SQL and this same Forum software which uses MYSQL.
Can anyone share their experiences with this? Where can I find instructions for this type of install?
Any advice other than switching to Unix or Linux (not an option) would be appreciated.

Thanks

1) Forum software: http://www.wwwthreads.com

2) In terms of using Windows, withstanding the memory and CPU processing challenges, you could use DBMAN SQL. You would need to do the following:

a) Download Perl from http://www.activestate.com.
b) Install MySQL.
c) Configure DBMAN SQL appropriately to your server config.
