Apache httpd , browser, MySQL and MySQL client downloads

For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

If you download a copy of the Apache httpd web server, does it come bundled with a browser as well?

No - it doesn't. Although you'll access your web server through a browser most of the time (or rather your USERS will) it would be pretty odd to download both pieces of software together.

and yet ....

When you download a MySQL server, it does come bundled with the MySQL client program too .... and people find this rather odd. You could well argue for two separate downloads as you'll sometimes want to put the server on one machine and the client on another but that's not how its done!

If you want to download a MySQL server onto a machine, download it, follow the install instructions in the file called INSTALL-BINARY, and you're away - you can safely ignore the MySQL program if you don't need it.

If you want just a MySQL client you can copy it from the machine you've installed the server on, or pull the whole bundle down and just use the bits you want - no need to install or start the server, for example.
