Installing LinksSQL on LocalHost ??

Installing LinksSQL on LocalHost ??
Hi There,
How difficult would it be to install a copy of LinksSQL on my HomeComputer running Windows-98.
(After buying a copy of LinksSQL ofcourse)
I have Apache 1.3.20 and ActivePerl 561-626 already running on my computer.
Reason for this question is to configure the layout Database Colors Fonts Templates etc etc at home on my LocalHost Computer.
In our region we work with very slow but expensive Dial-Up Connections with a lot of interruptions.
So configuring any script Locaaly before uploading is much easier and faster for me.
Can I just download from my server what Alex would have installed there or how do I proceed.
Where and what version of MYSQL should I download and install on my home-computer ??
Are there any special Perl-Mods that I should install and what versions ?????
Regards,
Sanuk

Hi. It should run oklocally. I have 3 development copies running on mine. I'm not sure exactly what specs you need of software (i.e. Perl, Apache etc), because I use a package called NuSphere (nusphere.com), which installs everything automatically. Maybe someone who has done a complete manual install would be able to tell you Tongue

Hi,

Yes, you just need Apache, Perl and MySQL installed. Once those are installed then you run install.cgi and it will install the program for you locally.

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks Alex and Andy,
What version of MYSQL should I download and install for Windows98, I get confused when I see all these different versions of MYSQL.
Can you give me a download link ????
Are there any other Perl-modules I should install
or will it work out of the box ?????
Thanks and regards,
Sanuk

Here are some links for you:
MySQL 3.23.49
ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6.1
Apache 1.3.23 win32

You'll need to get DBI/DBD modules for MySQL. I think that's about it.
