I'm trying to set up a webhost server so I can test my websites. I am using Fedora Core 2. When I installed Fedora 2, I click on the option that I wanted to install a server and it installed all those files that makes it a server. I got Apache to work by first updating it using yum.

I installed the following:
httpd-2.0.50-2.1.i386.rpm
httpd-devel-2.0.50-2.1.i386.rpm
httpd-manual-2.0.50-2.1.i386.rpm

Then I exexuted the following command:
# service httpd start

Now when I go to "h t t p : / / localhost " on my browser it works and brings up this welcome page. (The reason I put spaces in this post is because this forum restricts me from posting links because I have not made more than 5 posts yet. I don't have those spaces when I actually placed that address in to my browser.)

Here's where I ran into problem when I tried to install MySQL.
1.) I downloaded MySQL-server-4.0.20-0.i386.rpm

2.) First this happened.

[root@localhost root]# yum update MySQL
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Cannot find any package matching MySQL available to be updated.
No actions to take

3.) So I tried to install the rpm directly:

[root@localhost root]# rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-4.0.20-0.i386.rpm
warning: MySQL-server-4.0.20-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-4
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) mod_auth_mysql-20030510-4.1
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) php-mysql-4.3.8-2.1

I've been searching online and haven't really found out anything that can help me. What I want to get going is just mySQL and php to work and I can also FTP stuff on the server. Right now I am on the mySQL part. Any suggestions? Thanks.

There is no single MySQL package. There are several packages, MySQL-server, MySQL-client, and a package or two of libraries. You're best doing "yum list MySQL*" and seeing what all is there, and then install them all in one go. If this doesn't work, try putting MySQL in all lower class - I forget at the moment how the package names are, mostly because I find it simpler to install MySQL from source.

Thanks for the info. I got all the packages now. The reason it did not work was because I dind't have all the packages. However I ran into another problem. When I try to install it, it says there's a conflict with another mysql package. It must be a package that was installed with the machine when I installed Fedora server. Here is what it says:

# rpm -Uvh MySQL-client-4.0.20-0.i386.rpm
warning: MySQL-client-4.0.20-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5

How can I remove the mysql-3.23.58-9? Or can I just use that package?

Ok did some searching around and found out how to remove rpms. I used the command

and

I used the first one and if it did not work because of a dependency problems i would use the second command. Now I am able to install MySQL!
