> use this MySQL ... Where do I assign a host name under Xitami for the mysql server (and set user and password) to simulate the "real" situation of later on? For example: The website is at www.domain01.de, and the MySQL runs on mail.domain02.com
Sounds like this should be covered in the basic PHP and MySQL
documentation. When you open a database, use the form that allows you to
specify a server machine. Even though in testing the database server and
the frontend server are the same machine, using the fully specified form
makes it easy to change later.
I don't think Xitami needs to know a thing about it. It just needs to
know which files go to PHP, and after that it should all be in PHP or
MySQL docs.
BTW, there are a dozen decent web forum scripts out there. Are you sure
you want to roll your own?
