Comments on: To MySQL or not to MySQL http://switch.richard5.net/2006/03/13/to-mysql-or-not-to-mysql/ How to build your Mac into a internet server using open source software Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:25:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Markis http://switch.richard5.net/2006/03/13/to-mysql-or-not-to-mysql/comment-page-1/#comment-197 Markis Tue, 14 Mar 2006 00:34:33 +0000 http://switch.richard5.net/2006/03/13/to-mysql-or-not-to-mysql/#comment-197 Far as I'm concerned, the only thing special about the Server Logistics MySQL is that it installs simply without having to use the terminal to initialize, set-up root password, and restart. MySQL is much easier to install via shell than PHP, so it seems you have done the hard part already. I would prefer the most recent software over "Mac OS X" simple type of installations as long as everything is well documented. If we want to make it simple (more automated), we could always write our own shell scripts for people who don't want to get into the technical aspects of installing a custom configuration. If you do change the documentation, it would be nice to have some POP3 configuration along with IMAP (even though it basically is the same) for those of us who have to support Windows email clients (Outlook doesn't like IMAP).

Then, besides having an "official" MySQL upgrade path, it moves the installed software out of the way of any Apple updaters. Need a volunteer to try out the instructions, before publishing, give a scream. Just my .02 USD. Switch to the official version.

Need a volunteer to try out the instructions, before publishing, give a scream.

Just my .02 USD.
