Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Windows Host with Linux Database Server?

AJ32 · 03-12-2009, 02:53 PM

Hey All!

I've been hosting a site on one server for a while now, and just purchased a new server to use as a dedicated database server to take some of the load off of the web server.

Anyways, my question is this, the existing web server I have runs windows, simply because some of the applications I use require a windows host. However, I would like to install Linux on this new database server, and use that. Since I do not have much experience on using a dedicated DB server yet, I do not know if that would work OK with the windows host and applications. What advice can you give me on that?

Thank in advanced!

P.S. Also, a tutorial on setting up a dedicated DB (MySQL) server would also be nice, if you know of any.
