You might also wish to consider downloading and installing Webmin. It's one of the easiest installs I have encountered. Simply tar the tarball and proceed into the new subdirectory (IE webmin-1.030) and perform a /setup.sh . Webmin will allow you easy access to your server via a web browser. Simply enter http://serverip:10000/ after the installation. To manage your MySQL databases, simply left-click on the Server button and select the MySQL server icon.
You should be able to accomplish a great deal with this GUI. For tasks not covered by Webmin, you will need to familiarize yourself with Telnet. If, as was the case with our distribution, Telnet is disabled by default, you will need to familiarize yourself with PuTTY.exe for accessing your server via a secure shell.

On Windows you can do the same in the DOS prompt. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Victoria Reznichenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
