I also do intend that MageDB will !!by default!! set everything for you, BUT i plan on making a highly extensive control panel that will allow you to change much of the decissions i'm making right now in the code. For server environment. MageDB is going to demand a few basics for it to work. Those are (for now): - Zend must work (thus php 5.2.x or higher) - MySQL 5.0.xx or higher (for the innodb database and the features of innodb) - The default skin will require Internet Explorer 7 or higher or a good browser like firefox and opera (i'm thinking about a very simple skin incase you use IE6) - I'm also thinking about a soft dependency (as in not required but would be nice to have) for the APC cache system to speed things up. And there are going to be a lot more dependencys once MageDB is close to Version 1.0.0 Hi Steffen,

About the “let the script do everything for us” part. I also do intend that MageDB will !!by default!! set everything for you, BUT i plan on making a highly extensive control panel that will allow you to change much of the decissions i’m making right now in the code.

A cool one that has nearly the same features as paFileDB is <a href="http://www.rwscripts.com" rel="nofollow">RW::Download</a>, but I don't like the installation procedure and how they handle translations and skins. The programmer seems to have the opinion that we don't have a clue how to configure php variables, so he decided to let the script do everything for us. Very easy, but not the best solution for every server environment. I couldn't get the script to work on my webhost since they have some php restrictions. Steffen Hi MArk,
