Thanx to all of those who read my post. Follows are the answers to my question:

1. You will need MySql server for linux on intel machines. Down load the rpm. Cuz it is easier to use. For 3.23 users just use " rbm -U filename " from the shell and you are done. For 3.22 users go here

2. Use nix's lynx browser to down load any file into your server. In case of intel nix machine just type " lynx http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQL-3.23/MySQL-3.23.36-1.i386.rpm " out of shell prompt to down load the file.

3. Go to #1.

4.MySQL 3.23 run databases using MyISAM by-default.

5. Contrary to what some believe, running PHPs using mod_php is faster than mod_perl.


Thanx again
