How do I get an mysql server? For plugins like hawk eye and log block. I use a mac. I'm not very expierenced with stuff like this. So please don't say too complicated stuff.
Ok i got it it wasnt too hard to find, basically what you do is you install XAMPP, its a wrapper for mysql for windows to run locally on a machine, heres a link: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
You just run the program when you need the database up.
If thats all you need then stop here.
If you need a web interface so you can modify/add/delete files on the database, you need to go a step further. You need to install an apache server on your windows, then install phpmyadmin, then you can access it via the web.

Semi-OT correction.
XAMPP for Mac isn't a 'wrapper' for the windows port of apache, PHP and MySQL, it's an all-in-one installer for versions of PHP, Apache and MySQL compiled for Mac OS. Mac OS 10 is UNIX at it's core, which is what PHP, MySQL and Apache were originally made to run on.
That being said, the pieces can be installed separately, but this is probably the easiest way to get the various parts installed and running.

Use pastie or pastebin for config files, I do not download them.
Ok thanks. I still didn't have the time to see this. :tongue.gif:. Now, does xxamp work for mac? I've heard about WAMP and MAMP. Which one should I use and are they a ll compatible with macs?
WAMP is for windows only (the W stands for Windows) and MAMP will work with macs (the M stands for Mac). XAMMP also works with Mac (along with Windows and Linux).
So use either MAMP or XAMMP (though I can't advise you on one over the other as I haven't used either)
I'm the host. lol
I really hate to ask you for that much (I cringed when I typed it). You don't have to waste your time. :smile.gif:
