Hi All

A friend of mine has asked to try and setup a Real Estate web site for him, I have been searching for a few weeks and all the sites I have looked at, just dont seem to fit.  I am hosting the site for him and I am running the following:

Server 2003
IIS 6
PHP 5
MYSQL 5.02
ASP.NET 4

So the questions are:

1:  Does DotNetDuke with MYSQL
2:  Is there a plugin to connect to MYSQL
3:  Will it run with ASP.NET 4
4:  Is the a real estate plugin

Those are the basic question I have tought of so far, I know there will be others, thank you in advance for your help.

I am not aware of a working Data Provider for MySQL and suggest using free MS SQL Server (with tools) instead on your server. .Net 4 is fine, PHP not required.

Thank you for the reply, looks like this is a non starter, if it cannot use MYSQL

DNN is ms server platform based - any ms server that is running IIS can also run MS SQL for free using SQL Express. So not sure why you would want to run MySQL in that sort of configuration.

A few reasons one of which is cost, this site will probably at some point go onto a hosting company and many of them charge for using SQL, and also restrict size and usage etc etc, so when someone is trying to get a business off the ground, every penny saved can be used elsewhere. 

MYSQL is probably one of the leading DB providers out there and has been used for many years, I have used MYSQL, MS SQL and SQL Express and out of the three I prefer MYSQL as do a lot of people.  I looked at the forums in here going back as far as 2008 and even then users where asking about DNN and MYSQL, so thats why I am very suprised that DNN has not been developed with MYSQL in mind.
