Hi,

I am going to install mysql in my server to use your mail. Which i have to install? Server? Client? Both?

Thank you

You need to install the MySQL package. It's a program that can be obtained in pre-compiled form for some platforms, and in source form you need to compile.

Once it's installed, you'll also need to install some perl modules (DBI:DBD MySQL) to allow access to the program from perl. They can be obtained from CPAN and if you have a "normal" set up on your perl, they will install and compile automatically.

I'm not sure what you mean by "server/client" software.

When you go to Mysql site, there are various rpm for redhat , the most importants are the server rpm and de client rpm.
I do not know if I have to install both or not

I see, they broke the install down into parts.

You'd want to install both, since the client side has the access programs such as mysqldump

If you don't intend to do any recompile of the program, you can probably get away with that.

Check the on-line documentation in the installation section for more.
