Campus Forum is one of the indispensable parts of campus network. Although the forum based on Asp+access simple, easy to install, but the MySQL database with its short, convenient, fast, free and so on the advantages of many sites are currently the preferred database, plus the PHP language also has cross-platform, high portability, safe and reliable, fast and efficient advantages, So at present many popular forum programs adopt the Php+mysql to develop together. But for me and the rookie to install the Php+mysql forum on the server is not as simple as asp+access, just put it directly to the site directory to run. Because most php+mysql forums need to be installed before they are used.
If you are going to buy virtual space to run the Php+mysql forum program, then you first have to buy a support php+mysql space, generally suitable for running a small forum (200 people at the same time online) program's virtual space every year the minimum cost is generally about 300 yuan. In addition, you have to set up a MySQL database, create a username and password to successfully install the Php+mysql forum. Some virtual space vendors provide this information directly to you without having to set up their own hands. For example: Shanghai e dynamic network of K300 virtual host, in the background to establish a database called ITLM, the automatic creation of Itlm_f, Itlm_r, itlm_w three users (passwords are set themselves). This can be used directly when installing.
If the school has its own server (Windows system), then follow these steps to set up the server's operating environment first, let the server support Php+mysql.
