mSQL support is new (as of 1.1.6) and is fairly stable.

Setting up mSQL is beyond the scope of this document. See
http://www.hughes.com.au/ for information on downloading and
instructions.

Create the database. You might need system privledges to do this:

[root@localhost phpwiki]# msqladmin create wiki
Database "wiki" created.
[root@localhost phpwiki]# 

Load the database schema:

[swain@localhost phpwiki]$ msql wiki < schemas/schema.minisql 

You will see a few error messages like this: 

mSQL >     -> 

ERROR : Unknown table "wiki"

This is normal because the schema file drops the table and then
creates it... dropping a nonexistent table is a nonfatal error and you
don't have to worry about it. You should see a lot of these:

mSQL >     ->     -> 
Query OK.  1 row(s) modified or retrieved.




mSQL >     -> 
Bye!

[swain@localhost phpwiki]$ 


Now the database is created; edit lib/config.php and comment out the
DBM file settings. Uncomment the mSQL settings, making sure the values
are correct.

That should be all! Try accessing your Wiki now. Read INSTALL and
README for more information, plus the comments in lib/config.php.
