How to install MySql on Bubba?

thanks

[lelle]

First, logon to Bubba using ssh, su to root and edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list. Remove the comments (#) first at every line.

The file should now look similar to this:

deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ sarge non-free

deb http://update.excito.net/ bubba main


Execute the following command as root: apt-get update

Then follow the instructions here:
http://www.mysql-apache-php.com/

(apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php4-sql)

Edit the /etc/sources.list again, inserting the comment signs.

Hi Safeen,

When logged in as your self. Issue the command su to become root the password is excito. But be aware when working as root you have no safety net so think twice on what you do.

Hi,
I've installed everything (Mysql and phpadmin together with php4)

When I added the line;
/etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

I get an error message when restarting Apache saying;
apache2: could not open document config file /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf


The phpmyadmin configuration file is supposed to be located at: /etc/phpmyadmin folder.

I can't find that file in that dir.

Does anyone have any idea?
