Re: [cobalt-users] Installing MySQL & PHP on a Raq 3

[Marco Baurdoux <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there Elliot,

In order to install MySQL on a Raq3 get the latest rpms of the
http://www.mysql.com website.

Telnet as root into your pizzabox and move to the directory where you
uploaded the 
FOUR Mysql Rpms to. Just edit this command then.
rpm -ivh MySQL*

If you already have installed a version of MySQL without having created any
databases (!!!) you might want to remove it with:
rpm -e MySQL*
rpm -e MySQL-shared*
rpm -e MySQL-devel*
rpm -e MySQL-client*

now exit the root shell and return to a basic admin one.
Type:
mysqladmin -u root -p password "my_new password"
hit enter twice.
that should do it.
If you get a refused connection to root@localhost story because you already
had set a mysql password, just destroy the mysql databases in
/var/lib/mysql.

If you have never installed MySQL before consider using the Mysql package
available on http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/.

It works fine, but you won't have the latest version of MySQL :-)
