No, you do not need to install MySQL on the Mac to get the frontend
working. It has been almost a year since I have run a frontend on
OSX so I don't remember all of the details, but installing MySQL wasn't
one of them. <br>
<br>
The database runs on the backend, the frontend software knows how to talk to it.<br>
<br>
Did you make the changes necesary to allow the remote connection to the database? <br>
<br>
I forget the specifics, but searching something along the lines of
'remote frontend permissions connect' should net you an answer. <br>
