Installing Flatpress on 110MB
The 110MB web host site provides free web hosting with many features as HTML, SHTML, PHP, and MySQL. The MySQL database access is limited for free accounts. I wanted to try my hand at installing a PHP application on my website. I choose the free flat file blogging software Flatpress. It uses flat files instead of MYSQL.
