Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have just installed Fedora Core4 (for my LAMP server)in my PC and the installation went well. However, I encountered a problem in connecting MySQL to PHP. I do follow the instructions and codes in the book of David Stansley, but the problem is still there. Also, I do the configuration in the root. Are there any code that will make PHP-MySQL connection?
WordPress uses a PHP/MySQL connection. If you can get WordPress to work on your server, then everything that is needed is working properly. It's just an implementation error at that point.
I don't know the book, but what goes wrong?
1) is mysql server configured and does it run
- check the processes (ps)
- try to connect using mysql
2) does apache run
- check the processes (ps)
- try http://localhost in your browser; there should be a default index.htm or index.html so you should see some kind of page without an error
3) is php associated in the apache configuration?
Can you post your php-code that attempts to connect and the error message that you get.
