Re: [cobalt-users] Installing mySQL on Qube2

["Pierre Chopot" <pierre.chopot@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello
The Knowledge base covers this and if you look through archives, this has been covered a lot as well. Anyway, from my own experience, there are 2 ways to do this (others can correct me if I am wrong):
1/ Use Cobalt rpm's that you can find on Cobalt site (see KB). (pro: easy and fast cons: older versions of MySql and Php, some features missing, ..)
2/ Re-compile the Apache-MySql-Php trilogy so you get perfect matching, last versions and voided warranty !!

I am a Linux beginner, but anyway, I fearlessly went the second way with the help of list members and I did succeed. I did put together a how-to file that I can send you if you want. It gives you a step-by-step procedure to compile everything (I am assuming you'll want php installed with MySql, everybody will tell you this is the best way to access MySql databases from html). The file is really precise but, as I said, I am a beginner so do not expect to much help from me !! 
Hope this helps..
