Hi,
<snip>
What I am wanting to know is, am I best off installing
MySQL/PHP/Apache on Windows98 (emulated on G4 Mac/OS 9.1) or should I
hold off for an installation on a separate partition of LinuxPPC. I
have tried installing on the Win98 emulator but there are loads of
errors.

I don't know much about Macs, but I would say you're better off with a Linux
than Windows, even when the Windows isn't emulated :-)
<snip>
Are there issues with MySQL/PHP/Apache on Win98 emulated?
</snip>
There are issues with these on Win98 on a PC, so probably, yes.
<snip>
Do I need more than one computer on a network to use MySQL server or
can I use the server on the same machine (TCP/IP)?
</snip>
Nope, you can do it all on one machine - just specify 127.0.0.1 or
"localhost" for the server name.

I have a virtual server account with MySQL/PHP supported. Is there an
easy way of setting up a test bed there on the web and interacting
with it via FTP/HTTP?
</snip>
Aha, you need PHPMyAdmin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/), it's
a PHP-based admin package for MySQL - you do all the work via html forms.
You just upload the whole shebang to your webserver, password-protect the
directory, and off you go. Great stuff.
