First you have to let the SQL server know what databases and users you =
want to use:
1) Set password for root user after initial load
# mysqladmin -u root password 'verysecret'
2) During subsequent user updates or adding new DataBase info:
# mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password: (enter "verysecret" or whatever you entered in step =
1)
Users:
insert into user =
(host,user,password,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv,Creat=
e_priv,Drop_priv) values =
('localhost','us_allprivileges',password('verysecret'),'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y=
','Y');
insert into user =
(host,user,password,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv) =
values =
('localhost','us_readandwrite',password('verysecret'),'Y','Y','Y','Y');
insert into user (host,user,password,Select_priv) values =
('localhost','us_readonly',password('verysecret'),'Y');
(You may want to select different database and user names)
Databases and their users:
insert into db =
(host,db,user,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv,Create_priv=
,Drop_priv) values =
('localhost','db_one','us_allprivileges','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');
insert into db =
(host,db,user,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv) values =
('localhost','db_one','us_readandwrite','Y','Y','Y','Y');
insert into db (host,db,user,Select_priv) values =
('localhost','db_one','us_readonly','Y');
3) Create new data base
# mysqladmin -u root -p create db25872a
Enter password:=20
SQL server must be restarted for changes to take effect:
mysqladmin -p -u root reload

Start with a index.html page containing a "hello Leon"=20
When this is working try the same in a index.php page.
This working you are ready to access your SQL server through the MySQL =
PHP API to Apache. You connect to your database using the following =
piece of coding:
<?
$host=3D"localhost";
$_db =3D "db_one";
$user=3D"us_readandwrite";
$password=3D"verysecret";
mysql_connect($host, $user, $password);
mysql_select_db($_db);
?>
Now you are ready to issue your select, update, insert, etc. =
statements in your PHP code. A bit of Googling will produce several =
introductions to PHP/MySQL coding.
