[Phpvideopro-developers] Problems and solutions using RedHat 8 and PHP

[Elkin F. <el...@el...>]

Hello,

I am new to PHP/Linux/MySQL but here are the solutions to some not so
straight forward RedHat 8 (maybe even 9) problems:

1. how do I create a database?
on the shell type: mysqladmin create videopro
then: mysql
then: grant all on videopro.* to video@localhost identified by
"password";
make sure you typed the ; at the end
then type: quit
then type: mysqladmin reload

2. the PHP files do not get read?
Well it seems like RedHats PHP.ini file has some stuff different than a
standard install. Edit as root /etc/php.ini and change register_globals
to OFF
and also short_open_tag to ON
restart apache with /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Hope this helps someone not spend the hours it took me to climb the
steep learning curve ;-)
