ive just installed RH9
i installed web server(standart) + php (standart) + mysql(standart)
i mean that they are packages of OS.

how to configure them to work together?
i even dont know where they are...

Would be worth doing a little reading about on them the question is a little to general.

Look att www.apache.org, www.mysql.com and www.php.net.

They should all work together happily if you requested them on the install.

The web pages are likely to be in /var/www/html or something similar.

I have installed apache 1.3.28 (downloaded) php 4.3.3(php.net)
now: i downloaded mysql
Standard 4.0.16 14.6M
but. when i type "./configure"
i saw smth like this: "this is a binary distribution! it is ready to run."
i found "bin" directory in mysql dir.
i tryed to start "mysqld" in "bin" but kde-error like: 'program (or command) mysqld not found'
WTF?

Try typing the following

mysql -u username -p password

Where username to start with will probably be root unless you have set up any users access.

wait a minute! mysql is just a client! i want to start sever!

031129 15:39:53 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
031129 15:39:53 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ?
031129 15:39:53 Aborting

031129 15:39:53 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

well... there is no mysql.sock.... where can i get this file?

It might be there and running already. Try You can also type "which mysql". If it gives you a path to MySQL, it's installed and ready to configure.

MySQL is the server, there's no real distinction that I know of between client and server. You really must check out the mysql site. Their documentation is exemplary.

now there is another problem. i cant understand - what does he want?:-)]

[makkintosh@localhost mysql]$ ./bin/mysqld
031129 18:41:03 InnoDB: Started
