Re: [cobalt-users] MySQL after PHP3

[Aeron Jarrett <ajarrett@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure about your question pertaining to the order of the
installation but I do remember that mysql is to be installed first... when
I was told this I got both not expecting to ever use php but since they
were linked liked that I decided to go that way. 

About the root thing, when you install mysql, you need to set the root
password for the mysql server so that anyone who logs into the mysql
server as root must give a passowrd. Initially there is no root passowrd
for the server, so anyone can log in and play as root, adding and dropping
tables... even setting the apssword so that you can't get to  it. It's not
likely but possible... and I do know how to spell 'password' :)
