You don't need to do much more than start the mysql daemon. But it does
depend a little on what you are trying to achieve. Don't worry to much
about the control center, it's nice but you don't *need* it.
try starting the mysql daemon, and connect to it via the mysql client.
If it doesn't work then you'll have go through the mysql documentation
for the trouble shooting section.
/etc/init.d/mysql start
If you are trying to connect from another host then it is quite likely
that the linux kernal is perventing access to the mysql port (default
3306). Try connecting to the host on port using telnet, if it won't
connect then your going to have to get your hands dirty with ipchains.
as root try
/sbin/ipchains -L -n
it'll list the current rules that kernal is using for IP connections. If
there isn't one that indicates that connections are accepted to port
3306 from the address you are trying from then bingo, that'll be you're
problem. Let me know if you need a hand configuring ipchains to allow
access.
Hope this helps.
