If it's specific to WP, I think that you can read the wordpress documentation on how to add a table in mysql to use it with WP.

Ok. There are to things

1. When i visit http://10.22.36.11/wordpress/ i get a HTTP 500 error, but when I visit http://10.22.36.11/wordpress/wp-install/install.php it comes up.

Here is some of the httpd.conf:

Code:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"



<Directory />

    Options FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride All

</Directory>



<Directory "/var/www/html">

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride None



Order allow,deny

    Allow from all



</Directory>

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php



<Files ~ "^\.ht">

    Order allow,deny

    Deny from all

</Files>

2. When got a Mysql error:

Code:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

I have used yum install mysql and yum install php.mysql

1. Let it go for the moment, as it looks like you haven't configure WP yet.
2. Make sure mysqld is running and the socket is in fact there

Code:

ps -ef|grep mysqld

ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Once you've sort it out point your browser to http://10.22.36.11/wordpress/readme.html for installation instructions. Or you can visit wordpress for more detailed instructions

ps -ef | grep mysld: root 2149 2048 0 14:29 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mysqld

ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock : srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 2009-08-19 15:08 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

So mysqld is not running. Try

Code:

service mysqdl start

to start it.
You should start reading the documentation about how to configure mysql, how to give a password to mysql root user etc.
The WP installation is not going to work if you don't have a mysql server running.
