We mainly use PostgreSQL with Apache on a FreeBSD system, but we would like our server to support MySQL also. Is that possible? Any server admin who can give a little help?

  • dhvrm:

    Yes, it is possible, the same way you can install any two applications on the same server. Just install them normally.

  • Jeffrey F:

    you can install as many DBMS as you like. Each server has to be on it’s own port.

    good luck

  • Coosa:

    Of course you can, but not be precise, you don’t install the DBMSs in Apache! You do however install them in your OS and apache has less to do with them; the scripting language associated with apache (php for instance) deals with the DBMS and interacts also with apache at the same time; I don’t recall Web servers ever interact with databases.
