php and mysql

[graham]

I've installed php on my linux server ok and it returns a phpinfo() call when requested. However, I'm having trouble getting mysql going with it.

I've done

tar xvf- mysql-3.22.32
cd mysql-3.22.32
./configure
make
make install
./scripts/mysql_install_db
./scripts/safe_mysqld

mysql reports that it is starting with data from /usr/local/var and then says mysql daemon ended

and that's it. I can get no further. ANY help of advice much appreciated. Thanks

regards, Graham

look in /usr/local/var for any logs/error messages

make sure the database mysql (it'll be a folder) exists in /usr/local/var
