I am running Abyss Web Server on my personal computer and need to do some DB work with my website, but cannot access my actual hosting account with my hosting provider. Is there a way to kind of download mysql so i can do db work on localhost?

Thank you

  1. Yes, you download mysql server community edition and install it.

  2. Yes.

    Go to the MySQL website (you can find it by typing MySQL into Google) and click the Download link.

    You will need to copy the database structure from the host, of course. They will probably provide you with an admin utility to do this. If they don't give you a pretty control panel with the feature, then a command line interface will give you access to the mysqldump utility.
