Hi list, I just installed php, mysql, apache, and sendmail from Add Packages, using the FC4 disks. I have got apache up and can serve php pages on localhost. I need to access mysql and sendmail, and am having little luck finding information on the web. I started apache with "service httpd start" and sendmail with "service sendmail start" but "service mysql start" isn't quite working. How is mysql called? Also, I need to add a user to mysql, but even the tutorial on the mysql assmes that a user was created in installation, and does not show how to create one! How can I create a user? The answer is not in man mysql or man mysqladmin. I asked in the mysql list about two hours ago, but I have yet to recieve a response. I am not impatient, but I figure that _may_ be on-topic enough for this list, as I surely am not the first to install mysql from the FC4 disks. Although I get no output when I start sendmail, I cannot send mail using php's mail() function. No error, but no mail. Also, no error in the apache log. Should I ask what to check on the php-general list, or is it on-topic here? If so, what to check? Thanks everybody!
