I wouldn't ever *require* anyone to install apache to admin mysql. It was a |
| 12 |
*suggestion*. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Reasons for suggesting phpMyAdmin are: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- It's a very slick tool. |
| 17 |
- MySQL is often used as a database with Apache & PHP. Therefore is possible |
| 18 |
that Apache+PHP might already be installed. |
| 19 |
- I have Apache installed on my desktop PCs normally anyhow: it's a very |
| 20 |
easy way to transfer files between boxes. |
| 21 |
- It's a webapp, so the client (browser), server (apache+php) and database |
| 22 |
server (mysqld) can be three different computers. You might be able to use |
| 23 |
apache+php already installed some else. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So perhaps my response should have been: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
"If you have Apache+PHP installed (or don't mind installing it) then check |
| 28 |
out phpMyAdmin. It's a great tool for administering MySQL databases." |
