How did you install MySQL? RPM? Source?
I use phpbb on my site, and earn my paycheck with php and mysql, so hopefully I'll be able to help you.

I have scrounged through mysql's web site, it was a mess, dis-organised, docs made no sense.I tried to have a go at it anyway, only to find that even when turning on mysql server, the thing says it can't connect to the database. How do I get mysql to work? Is it broken? I just don't understand how to make it go. I want to set up a message board, phpbb, and it all goes fine until the install, then it chokes itself and punks up. How does one go about activating mysql and making a database for phpbb? Please go easy on me, as I know nothing about mysql, the docs made no sense at all to me, I wish they would just tell you what to do and quit using all this darn foo.bar.butt.crack stupid terms that mean nothing, and just say in plain english what I have to tyupe in my bash shell to set the stupid thing up. I even tried web min, still didn't work, I just don't understand it I guess, is it just for nerds or can the average person use it? I know enough to get an email server up and running, and I got a web server up too, but that is all, and I don't know what is up with this version's apache, it doesn't know the meaning of "permission allowed" the darn thing denies you access to all php or cgi and won't run if you held a gun to it's head. Thank you to all who can help. Craig.
