The only way to do this is with zExplorer. AC Explorer does not handle multiple databases very well. However, if you want to stick with AC Explorer, the details on the file formats that your web database server needs to output are documented in the AC Explorer help file in the Advanced Technical section. But you are on your own for writing database server scripts that output the needed format. Also, the free version of AC Explorer does not support custom database servers, nor does it support the more flexible XML output, so there isn't much you can do for them. But the format used by the free AC Explorer is still documented, and you can probably look at the instructions given at www.acspedia.com for how to set the INI file values manually for the free AC Explorer users. But they won't be able to use ACSpedia once you change their INI file to use your server.
If you use zExplorer, I've provided free scripts for PHP and MySQL to set up your own database server. The instructions for doing this are in files within the ZIP archive containing the script files, so download the free server scripts from the Download page and look at the documentation contained there. To set up a map database server, you will also need one copy of zMapper to create your initial map, set the coordinate scaling, and initially populate it or import data from other sources that you want to put into the database. Once the database server is set up, then other users only need zExplorer to download the updates, submit new locations, etc. |
