Hi,
Im trying to teach myself something about ecommerce
My cheapy hosting package does not support MySQL.
Can I use my own Apache/MySQL which is installed on my
computer just to practise on?

Thanks for any constructive suggestions / tips.
Alan.

Do you have PHP installed on your pc, as well? It's a must, also.

Most people that wants to install Zen-Cart on a local server installs WAMPP or XAMPP, both of which has all the necessary requirements for Zen-Cart.

Thanks for that Get EM Fast.
Yes Ive got PHP and XAMPP so Ill give it a try.
