Installing MySQL 5 on linux fedora/centos

---
---To install MySQL, we do this:

#yum install mysql mysql-server

--Then we create the system startup links for MySQL (so that MySQL starts automatically whenever the system boots) and start the MySQL server:

#chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
#/etc/init.d/mysqld start

--Run  to set a password for the user root (otherwise anybody can access your MySQL database!).

#mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
#mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

--restart apache
on centos

#/sbin/service httpd restart

On fedora
#/etc/init.d/httpd restart
