There really isn't anything under /usr/local except for what mysql put there. I make file lists before installing anything so I know exactly what went in during the install. The only files under /usr/local were put there by the mysql installation.
I think I'll re-image tonight and give it another go. I'm doing all of this in a test VPS so I'm not too worried about messing it up. It will be production one day, but for now I'm just learning the ropes of bringing up web servers. Thanks for all of your advice, Eric On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 2:46 PM, Doran L.
