Have you already install mysql? If so skip to the last line of the code box if not follow the first steps.

Code: Select all

yum install php-mysql mysql mysql-server
chkconfig mysqld on
service mysqld start
mysqladmin -u root -p <password of your choice>

I would recommend learning how to use mysql command line, its really not that hard if you aren't going to be using mysql for a lot.
