yeah all folders correct. and about permissions, i have access to the computer running the server, so i run the script directly from that box. Setup works fine, until after i enter all the database information, in which the next screen is just blank. I think that my databases are set right because i can access all them from command prompt, and edit them, they are empty thought and contain no tables. But i think my databases probably arent set right becuase there i see no traces on the computer of an actual MYSQL server that is running. I downloaded "microsoft SQL server 2005" but i don't understand what i am suppossed to do with it. some help would be appreciated
best regards mike
