    Does the aMember MySQL database need to be installed in the same directory as aMember? Will aMember work better if the DB is in the same directory?

    the mysql database should place itself into an sql area of the server, seperate from everything else.

    Thanks David,

    I have my other MySQL databases set up that way. I just wanted to be sure that it wasn't different with aMember.

    Really? That's not really a common (nor secure) approach for MySQL installations.
    (Windows installation by any chance? ;) )

    It's a Unix installation.

    Where do you put your MySQL files?

    UNIX installation? Like an actual Solaris installation or is it Linux?
