It is physical in that it resides on your file system, however it is not like a static webpage.<br><br>Take a look at these tutorials http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/tutorial.html. They should help you understand the what and how of databases, specifically MySql.<br><br>Here is some PHP info on how to work with MySql databases http://www.php.net/manual/en/set.mysqlinfo.php.<br><br>I would recommend understanding the basics before trying to install Joomla on your local LAMP install. <br><br><br><br>------------------------<br>
