Hello,
I have been asked by a guy to rewrite his web site presently written
by somebody else using ASP/NT/IIS/MS Access (by some other webmaster
who vanished). I said, yes, I could do it but with PHP/MySQL, because
that's what I know, and even more important I only have Linux/Apache
at home to test the pages before uploading.
The guy passed this request to the hosting company (which he doesn't
want to change) and the answer is:
if you *really* need to use PHP instead of ASP OK, but as far as MySQL
is concerned we only have one customer using it now, and if we gave it
to you too, then the two databases would be visible and writeable to
each other users.. unless *your* new webmaster programs our MySQL by
himself to avoid this problem.
Now, leaving apart every comment on the quality of this ISP, what
should I do on their server to make it so that I can indeed set my
customer's PHP/MySQL pages without screwing anything up? I can usually
find my way enough about MySQL, but this situation is entirely new to
me. As a matter of fact, until yesterday I would have thought that it is
more difficult to set up Mysql like this (or find real people doing
it) than the other way around..
TIA,
mweb
