Installing MySQL via shell

Apache installation and configuration is quite easy and there are tons of example configuration files (btw httpd.conf is well documented itself). With ftp it's a bit herder, because you need to know which server you'd like to install. MySQL configuration: you should think who to allow to write which database, that's the most important problem.

I know the configutation under windows. But i'm totaly new to linux and shell. So that I didnt even know where my apache and the apache config files are located. Also the installation of programms isnt easy, becouse I didnt know how to get the packages on my computer without using a cdrom (shell).

Thats my problem...

Ok.

Script that does this for us:

And how do I upload this script to my Server? I think I should install FTP first. Or configurate. How do I add a user etc?

You should have a simple ftp clinet on the server machine (called ftp). Using it you can download all the files you need (amoung them an ftp server).

It's quite simple
ftp servername
If you're lucky, there's also lynx or links installed. They're both text mode web browsers. Try to run them. If they're not available, you can always download them via ftp, install and use.
