RE: [Phphelpdesk-help] getting started

First, can you get into the database?   You need to be able to type
mysql and be into the mysql> prompt.  You may need a password if you
have one set.  Once you know that it is running, you need to find where
Redhat 7.0 puts its mysql.sock file.  Its probably in
/var/mysql/mysql.sock or something like that.  Edit your
/usr/local/lib/php.ini file.  And find where it has a variable for
setting your mysql.sock file and point it to wherever it is located.  On
a side note, you can do this with the find command:

find / -name mysql.sock
find / -name php.ini

Once you you can get into mysql, you should create the database by
running something similar to the following:

mysql < phphelpdesk.mysql.php;

That database dump should just create a new database called phphelpdesk
and set permissions so that phphelpdesk can use it.


Finally, setup the phphelpdesk config files to reflect your settings and
fire up your web browser.

Subject: [Phphelpdesk-help] getting started

I am a newbie to both Linux, PHP and MySQL. I have extensive Microsoft
skills and SQL skills, but am having a slow start getting my PHPhelpdesk
up and running on a new platform...new to me that is.

I have installed Linux 7.0 on a Del l box and have installed via the
Custom setup option. It looks like apache, PHP and MySQL have all
installed "right out of the box", but I am having difficulty setting up
MySQL up and running. The support docs don't exactly spell it out for
me.

I have the PHPhelpdesk file downloaded, but am trying to get MySQL to
run prior to starting on the PHP part.

The MySQL install directory sturcture is a bit different than what is
described in the MySQL man. This is confusing me somewhat.

Is there any doc you can forward that can help me get started and get my
PHPhelpdesk up and running a bit sooner than later.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
