Question

I know that the site needs to run on a Microsoft server - however, is it possible to run a MySQL database on a linux server whilst keeping the scripts on a Microsoft server?

Answer

It certainly is possible, and we've had people successfully set up their stores running in this manner.

However, because we deal exclusively with Microsoft technology, we cannot offer support on setting this up.

As with all setup queries, we recommend that you download the Lite version and see if you can get it running as you suggest. All that should need modification is the connection string in the config.asp file. If you can successfully run the lite version, then you'll be able to do the same on the full version.
