the stuff you're running into has to do with creating your own database and
tables AFTER installing and initializing MySQL. To install MySQL, I recommend
the RPM if you're running RH 7.1 . If you're running RH 6.2 or Debian, you
may have to compile/install Apache, PHP and MySQL to get them to all work
together. An EXCELLENT reference for this is a DevShed article at <pre><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/">http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/</a></pre>
