Oddly enough, some of the best documentation for MySQL comes from apps that use it. PHP4 is a great resource. You can also get something called phpMyAdmin that will give you a web interface to the tables that really takes a lot of the pain out of it. If your concerned about security (as you should be), set up the server with 2 NICs (or an alias) and have the phpMyAdmin app. run from an Apache virtual server that only listens on a private network(192.168.x.x) and use an 404 authentication via .htaccess. It's theoreticaly impossible too get packets for those addresses routed accross the net, so you mostly need to worry about inside jobs. twig les wrote: > > Hey all, I'm looking for some good docs on how to > install and administer Mysql on freebsd.
