SETTING UP PHP AND MYSQL ON THE COBALT SERVER

INSTALL MYSQL FIRST!!!!!!!!!

Pre-requisite.   MYSQL must be installed BEFORE setting up PHP.

You can use the following files to install MYSQL located in

This version of MySQL is 3.22.32

MySQL-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm
MySQL-client-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm
MySQL-devel-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh nameof-file.rpm

The file should upload cleanly.

Afterwards, MySQL will ask you to set the root database password;

follow the instructions.  Don't forget to reboot the server if necessary

--------- PHP 4.0.2 INSTALL --------

NOTE: Cobalt has a MySQL .pkg file at http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/

The following instructions are for installling PHP 4.0.2 on the Cobalt RaQ.
