title: How to make a server for a Java and MySQL application
body: <p>I created a Java application that accesses a <strong>MySQL database</strong> (made using <strong>MySQL Workbench</strong>). I want to create an installer for my application so that other users can use it on other computers, but I can't figure out how to do so. </p>
  
  <p>I tried using <strong>Launch4j</strong> and <strong>Inno Setup Compiler</strong>, but when I tried to install the application on another computer it didn't access my database.</p>
  
  <p>After a bit of research, I found out that I (maybe?) have to use a server for my database, but I couldn't figure out what and how to do that.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My questions are:</strong></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li>Do I have to use a server to make my application installable on other computers?</li>
    <li>What is the easiest server to use for this task?</li>
    </ol>
