MySQL is a database product, not a webserver. If you want a webpage to interact with a database at some point you are going to need Webserver software, like Apache. So, to answer your question, no, you will need MySQL server to run your database, and Apache to serve your webpages (generated via your CGI connected to MySQL). Hope this helps Martin	[reply]

Not sure what platform you are on, but it looks like you are just starting out so I suggest a simple package like XAMPP (apachefriends). Its insecure, but is easy to setup and run to get started and play. It includes Apache, mysql and Perl (and some other language called PHP). There are other similar packages about.	[reply]
