Zack,
What type of hosting provider will you be using? If they offer a control
panel setup it makes the mysql setup really easy. In fact, it also makes it
pretty easy to change php when neccesary. I don't have a lot of experience
with web design either, but I was able to get our set up working fine with
no real trouble.
Unfortunately I don't know of a step by step guide for the setup that
discusses those issues, probably just because there are so many different
approaches that could be taken and setups to have to deal with. If you can
get back with more specific questions once you're ready to get started I (or
probably anyone else on this board) would be glad to help where I can.

Hello,
I have a lot of technical experience with everything computer related
except
web design. That's precisely why I want my website to be a wiki: it's much
easier to manage than just about anything else. However, I don't know how
to
use MySQL or PHP, so the documentation is a little bit intimidating to me.
I
won't be installing it immediately, but if anyone could let me know who to
contact for a step by step installation guide in layman's terms, I'd
appreciate it a lot.
